Sometimes your light is too bright for them
Sometimes the jealousies of others can cause you to live smaller than you deserve to live. When you are simply doing the things you do, being the person you are meant to be, and shining your light to the world as it is meant to shine, they become jealous because they do not fully appreciate their own positive qualities and cannot get past this comparison that they have with you.
They put you down to feel better about their selves
This triggers them and they lash out at you, trying as they can to keep you down and to dim your light, so they feel better about themselves by comparison. This creates an unhealthy competition that you did not initiate, ask for, or have any desire to participate in. This creates an inharmonious atmosphere, perhaps one of down-right hostility. Because of this, perhaps you have to live less than you otherwise would, shrink down and become smaller in order to maintain peace. You don’t want to trigger this other person, so you do not shine your light quite as brightly as you otherwise would.
You are not meant to live in a box
This isn’t fair to you. It isn’t fair to anybody who may benefit from what you offer to the world through your light and your brilliance, either. So the thing to do is to remind yourself that you are on this earth to radiate your brilliance. You are on the earth to be a large being. Being made small to live in a box to placate this other person does absolutely nobody any good. All that does is placate the ego of that person who feels threatened by you. You will not be doing anybody any favors that way.
Force them out of their comfort zone
The thing to do is keep in mind this person is not in charge of what you do to be the best person you that you are on this earth to be. You have to accept the fact that they will attack, belittle, and try to keep you in your place- but remember- this place they are trying to keep you in is arbitrary and has meaning only to them. It exists only within the realms of their comfort zone. Don’t let that slow you down or diminish you. Force them out of their comfort zone by simply being you.
Let them adjust to you
Be mindful not to attack or belittle them. If you have criticism for them, be sure to phrase it such that it cannot be interpreted as an insult or attack, for they will probably look for anything at all to support their notions of you, no matter what. Do not let the pettiness or jealousies from others keep you from being who and what you are on this planet to be. You be you and let others adjust to that. You owe it to the world to do so. –Jim Larsen
