Hey Sis ....
Another wonderful post ...
I couldn't agree more ...
Jealousy is one of the roots of all evil .... If people concentrated, and focused, half the negative energy they waste in despising and being jealous of others into positive actions, they would be 100% more productive and find that they could push themselves to succeed more ...
Instead of feelings of jealousy, we should be choosing, and using the person we envy, as a role model ... someone whose footsteps to follow in ... someone to learn from in order to achieve our own desired goals...
Jealousy only stems from personal insecurities ... lack of self-confidence within our own abilities ... and that is the real issue which should be addressed.
... the only person stopping us from being like the person we envy, is us ...
I, personally, relish in other peoples' success ... Half the time, I wil even go out of my way to help them accomplish more, in any way I can .... I find it an honour to be associated with someone who is achieving more than me ... and sometimes it is the only way I can keep myself motivated enough to keep moving forward and up ... and believe me ... on a spiritual level .....the rewards of sharing in someone else's glory are phenomenal ...
So, the next time we are jealous of someone we should ask ourselves ... why? .. and what are they doing that I am not? ... maybe then our energies can be focused more positively.
God Bless you sis
Much much love to you
