Overcoming Sibling Rivalry With Spiritual Understanding

Disagreements between siblings i.e. with your sisters or brothers is common, but we need to check if we carry an element of insecurity or jealousy for a sibling even in adulthood. We believe sibling rivalry to be a childhood phenomenon – of who gets more attention, who is more intelligent, who is more good-looking, who is more smart …. and so on. Emotional wounds often continue in adulthood too.

1. If you have siblings leading a successful life, deep down do you feel jealous or insecure seeing their success or any attainments that they may have in life? It might be a symptom of sibling rivalry. 
2. Sibling rivalry might have been triggered by comparison or competition during childhood. But you can change your attitude now. Your hurt or jealousy is due to your low self-esteem and inability to think good and positive about yourself and inability to experience the importance of your own success and attainments of life. You have the power to heal yourself with the help of spiritual wisdom and strength and practicing soul consciousness.
3. Remember that every situation in our life is accurate and we each get the same amount of success, recognition or failure that we deserve as per our karmic accounts. There can be no comparison or competition with your sisters or brothers. Reflect on the present beautiful karmic account you share with them and the moments of unconditional love and respect you have shared since childhood. Don’t focus on moments when things have gone wrong sometimes with them or you have not received what you expected from them. Let go of the past and make a fresh beginning.
4. Differences in perspectives with them will be there, but you know they love you. Their words or actions might not have been right, but their intentions always were. Send them love and healing every day in your thoughts and words to make your relationship with them beautiful.
