About this episode

Have you ever experienced envy or jealousy, those emotions that arise when we compare ourselves to others? 

What is the difference between these two emotions, and how can we navigate them in our lives? 

Welcome to the On Purpose podcast, and today we will look deep into the intricacies of envy and jealousy, and discover the three transformative steps to make any change in our lives. 

Let’s talk about why do we feel jealous or envious when we find ourselves going through struggles while others seem to have an easier path, why do we desire what others possess, how these feelings make us feel satisfaction from others' unhappiness or feel left out.

Through reflection and introspection, we uncover the path towards personal growth and develop a mindset of compassion, gratitude, and inclusivity. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

The different types of jealousy and envy

How can we identify the signs 

How do we shift our mindset 

How to turn jealousy and envy into admiration 

Prepare to embark on a journey of self-discovery, understanding, and transformation as we learn to embrace our own path and celebrate the journeys of others.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
