Is there any word for positive/good jealous. Ex: somebody plays flout very well; you desire to have the same skill but you couldn’t. You are not really jealous on the other person. What is the word for this feeling?

Somebody plays the flute (?) very well; you desire to have the same skill but you can’t. You are not really jealous of the other person. I think you could simply use the word 'jealous' in an admiring way - it doesn't have to be negative: ~ I'm really jealous of your skill, it's amazing! or: ~ I really admire your skill at playing the flute...

I also agree with Charlie. 'Jealous' and 'envious' are not necessarily negative in English.

I agree with Charlie. I admire your skills. I'm so jealous of your skills. I envy your skills. I'm inspired by your skills. I look up to you. Someone plays the flute well. (You need to include the article before the instrument).
