Jealousy...A reality we all deal with in one way or another

"Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them." ~Jennifer James

It always surprises me how people assume things or judge you when they aren't even your friend. If people looked within themselves then maybe they could stop making assumptions about other people's lives. Sad really...if all they want to do is talk (without having an ounce of factual information) then I actually feel sorry for them! Once again..all you can do is pray for people like that.
This quote explains a lot about what I was going to talk about so I figured I'd just leave it at that! Again, so glad the only approval in life I need is from my Heavenly Father :-)



Love and Prayers,
