How to be genuinely happy for others!


Secretly wish you had what your friend has, or that she didn't have everything? Kick the nasty jealousy and turn it into admiration and self-improvement.

  •  Learn to recognize when you're feeling jealous.
  • Take a deep breath and ask yourself whether being jealous will achieve anything.
  • Stop viewing people as threats or rivals; see them as equal.
  • Show interest in others' success; ask questions and take their advice.
  • Remind yourself of your of your good qualities.
  • Set some short-term goals and reward yourself as you achieve each one.
  • Learn from your blunders.
  • Be thankful for what you have.
