How do you manage jealousy when your friend succeeds?

I struggled with this once. My friend got a big job, and I was unemployed. I was jealous but also proud. Talking honestly with him helped me. He supported me in finding my own path. Communication reduced jealousy.

It is natural to feel jealous sometimes. But I remind myself that their success does not stop my own. I use their achievement as motivation instead of letting jealousy ruin the friendship.
