writes:Is it okay to be a envy/jealous of someone? I have been feeling very envy /jealous of celebrites and models and other people. I feel like the are so beautiful and that they got everything. I know that being jealous isn't good for the health. I do know that there are always going to be people that are better than you; but when I look at a celebrity or people that have things that are better than me I feel insecure because I don't have their looks , money or success. I am really trying to find a talent or something that I am good at but every time I see someone who has more than me I start to feel jealous; When I feel this way I become angry with myself for feeling this way.

 You really need to stop comparing yourself to others as a gauge of how "good" you are... (for lack of a better word). Perhaps you should also look into building your self-esteem up a bit.
You've only got one life... why waste it watching what the neighbours are doing with theirs?

 I would say that it is alright to feel that way, it just means that you are growing as a person. But it is not something you should encourage.
You realize of course that the celebrities themselves were not born with all of that success, at first, many of them felt insecure about themselves, much like you right now. But they built that success from what they had around them.
Do not be jealous of their beauty. A lot of them have people to ensure they look their best (i.e. make-up artists, Image consultants etc...) because many of them may not appear so 'beautiful' without their people to help them.
Be your own person, do what makes you feel good instead of looking to be like someone else and in due time, with hard work and effort, others will be envious of you. Then I will have to tell them the same thing :)
I hope that helps.
