Jealousy and Envy



"They say that jealousy and envy are crueler than the grave well,  some of you have one foot in." LLW

What makes a person so jealous and envious that they would ruin their own lives in the process?  
What is it about yourself that you hate so much?  It is your lack of love and attention?  You sit and watch other people get loved on and treated special and you don't see no part of that in your chosen life or relationship so their happiness just makes you so sad.  Are you one of those people that sit in your large home with a large bank account and envy those with less?  What is it?  Do you hate your mirror so much that you would rather destroy another person because daily you admit to yourself that you are less and unworthy?  Let's talk about how you can recoup some self-esteem and start loving the skin you're in.

First, I will share with you the difference between jealousy and envy. People often mistake jealousy for envy, when they are two different emotions. Jealousy is the feeling that you will lose what you already have, like a relationship,  or a job.  Envy is the feeling that someone has something that you don't have, like a beautiful face, a nice home, or a rich gorgeous boyfriend, things like that.  Jealousy is having a man or woman in your life and not believing that you have the confidence or self-esteem to keep them.  You believe there is someone better than you who she/ he will eventually choose. Even though that has not happened yet, your thoughts will manifest that reality.  Envy is scrolling on someone else's page day in and day out hoping that because you hate them so much they will get uglier or experience some kind of downfall. What you don't realize is that the more energy you put into a person the bigger they become.  The more you talk about them, the more success they will experience. It doesn't matter if what you are saying is negative or positive, the attention you are causing them to receive is what matters. So, please let a hater promote you.

In order to grow from being jealous or envious, you have to know your worth. Only those who feel they are not worthy will constantly invite the experience of jealousy or envy.  The person that you are jealous or envious of more than likely does not even know.  They probably trust you and love you and here you are plotting against them for no other reason but the fact that behind closed doors, you hate yourself, your life, and all that you represent. The extinct of someone's jealousy may not be apparent at first, but 90% of the time, jealousy and envy are experienced by people you know.   It's usually the people that clap for you in your face and stomp on your name behind your back; the people you grew up with, the people you call friends and family.

In order to get passed those feelings of incompetence, find out what you like about yourself.  What makes you unique?  Check in on yourself and be honest with yourself.   Make a list of the things that you want to change and work towards it.  Make a list of what you could do better and do that.  It will not be easy to undo all the negative things you may believe about yourself.   You are more valuable than the people that you compare yourself to.  We are all traveling on this journey, and we all have our roles to play.  If the role you are choosing is to be a jealous and envious person all your life, then you have already sold yourself short.  You have already given up and you owe yourself more than that.
