Jealousy.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Dear Deepak,
I have been reading your books for 6 months. Thanks to Public library for keeping most of your books. I think I know the answer to the following question but I would like hear from you. Why do I feel unhappy when I hear/see good things about others? For example, when someone share family picture on Facebook on a trip, got promoted, celebrating with friends etc. It is not that I don’t have these in my life. I do have friends (few selected), I do have good family and I do have good job/position/salary. But I still feel jealous or unhappy about others? Why do feel like this?
Response:
That reaction is just your conditioned ego mind that always compares your circumstances to others. Even though you have many good things in your life, the ego mind can still find way to make you feel unhappy or jealous of the good fortune of others. You don’t need to go into an analysis of why, it’s enough to recognize what is happening and shift your attention to what is good in your life right now.
Love,
Deepak

Question:
Hi Deepak Chopra!
I'm so jealous of other people. I'm jealous of their physical beauty, their status, their achievements, their lives. What should I do to not feel envy? When someone else succeed, I get anxiety and feel anger.
Response:
You have let your sense of self be shaped by external values: physical features, wealth and success. These things are fine, but they are not who you are. You think those qualities are the ideal qualities of a desirable person. But the ideal person is one who knows their true self and has fulfilled their human potential. Find out your real nature; live your own life authentically, and you won’t care what other qualities people have that you don’t. When you value your self for who you truly are, you won’t look to others to define your values and you won’t envy their qualities.
Love,
Deepak
Dear Deepak: I have struggled most of my life with loneliness. I think I may be autistic but was never diagnosed. In school I did poorly but I completed university and earned a degree in teaching with honours. My main problem is that people agitate me. It's emotionally troubling for me to be around them. Their talks, movements , thoughts all make me boil. I think people feel the same around me. They avoid me and don't stay in the same room with me. I know I have a condition and my behaviour is abnormal compared to normal people because even my family doesn't socialise with me, except for my daughter. I am 42 years old and have been this way most if my life. I don't think I can change or unlearn my behaviour . I am not happy with it. Please advise. Thank you.
