For this week’s radio show, I tried something a little different: a mini show. Instead of a full 30-minute interview, I spent 15 minutes focusing on one topic: jealousy. I chose that topic because, after careful thought and research, I’ve come to the conclusion that jealousy gets a bad rap. All over the internet there seems to be a universal desire to do away with it completely in exchange for forever avoiding what some are calling “the comparison trap”. And in theory, I understand that. Jealousy without further inspection can be a difficult feeling to process. But, when examined further, it can be one of the most powerful and healthy tools we have to process our own wants, needs and goals.
What if, instead of letting those moments of envy and jealousy shut us down, we decided to let them fire us up? If jealousy and desire have the power to move us to feel something so strongly, surely they have the power to move us to do something GOOD, too. Simply put, I’ve decided that we need to take the fear and negativity out of the word JEALOUSY and focus on the power it has to motivate, inspire and mold better businesses. So in today’s show I’m breaking down the reasons jealousy is misunderstood, how to understand it accurately and how to change your perspective and stance on envy to turn it into something that can be a positive motivator in your life and work. The link to listen are below, but I’ve also shared some overview notes from the show below if you don’t have the time or ability to listen during the day. The radio show will go into more detail about each step of the process, provide resources for staying motivated and provide examples from my work and personal life that show how jealousy can be a positive motivator. xo, grace
