Ask Yourself These 10 Questions to Discover Your True Passion

Of whom are you jealous?

Jealousy is often described as a sin, but there are ways to make jealousy work for you. Jealousy is a key indicator of something someone else has that you want. As a career and life coach, identifying my clients’ jealousy often helps me zero in on things they want.

If you find yourself envious of a friend who is a corporate lawyer, even though you have no interest in the law, what can we learn from that? Dig deeper. Are you jealous of her prestige or advanced degree? The travel she does? The amazing suits? The money? How do you feel about the crazy hours she works and the fact that she has no personal life?

Identifying people of whom you’re jealous, and which specific aspects of their work or life you wish you had for yourself, can help you determine the specific components of a job or life that you want. Think about three to five people of whom you’re jealous. Then, dig down deep to find the specific aspects of their life that make you most green-eyed.
