Jealousy Quotes

Stretch an unwavering tenacity when facing bad to worse attitudes.

If your success is not amazing to your critics, it disturbs, infuriates, and frustrates them, and if they're not careful; may go hang themselves and go to hell.

If you hold a candle close to you, its flame rises. And if you hold it away from you, its flame shrinks. The same way you hold a candle close to you, keep all your plans, aspirations, projects, and dreams close to you too. Do not share your plans or goals until you complete them, because as you hold your candle away from you, your goals will shrink in the eyes of others. Envy, jealousy, and resentment will put out your flame before it grows. Never reveal what you are doing until you have accomplished it. Resentment does not only come from those close to you, but also distant strangers. Therefore, fiercely guard the passions burning inside your heart, so that their flames can safely reach the highest ceilings of success without the eyes of envy.

If only you could see the greatness in yourself, you wouldn't envy the greatness in others.

Stop worrying about someone taking your spot. God already have it reserved. Do the work to get there and fill it!

Some people hate people who are overconfident, only because their overconfidence reminds them of their underconfidence.
