Of course, everyone can relate to being jealous of something. There are definitely things I have to guard against being jealous of--they primarily involve financial things for me.

The answer for me has been gratitude and prayer. And the fact that God loves and forgives us all equally. Plus, I try to remember that so much about our circumstances is a result of fate, not fairness. I mean, unfortunately, you didn't inherit a big trust fund from your family but fortunately (hopefully) you are not a victim of a crime or natural disaster. Sometimes anxiety is about fretting over the things we cannot control. I crashed and burned so badly in 2015 that it became apparent that I need to accept the way things are in regards to people in my life and the things I have. Sometimes I even envision that maybe there was a grand purpose to all my shortcomings and missed opportunities. Sometimes it's hard to accept what we cannot change but it is the only way to get a good night's sleep.
Thanks for this!
