Living Kindfully

Jealous of my Son's Success

My son told me that he has just started monetising his YouTube channel. Within a week, he made around USD70. He has been running his channel for nearly 3 years. It is only recently that he is able to display advertisements on his channel. Each video takes about 6 to 8 hours to produce. I am happy for him, and I sense a hint of jealousy as well.

Obviously, this blog is not as successful as his channel. I kept telling myself that I am writing for myself. If my blog can help one person, I considered it as a win. My son's success opens up a reality that I have been denying - I want more audience and better monetisation.

There you go, I am not as saintly as I thought. I had a blog about jealousy where how jealousy tells us what we really want in our life. Maybe it is time to acknowledge my jealousy and do something about it.
