Jealousy Cripples, strangles, and Taints Every Part of Your Being.
Many of my thoughts are reflections. Views render me an opportunity to look inside to determine what I can change about myself. This comes as no surprise because there is always something about yourself that can be changed or at least altered. If change is a waste of your time, it’s no surprise that you’re in the same place you were a year ago, ten years ago. Let’s talk about a ‘character trait’ that many of us are guilty of, which would be jealousy.
Can you even admit that you are a jealous person? Can you accept that this character trait has been a part of your life for quite some time? If you can, let’s break it down a bit and see jealousy for what it is and what it may be doing to you.
DISCOVER YOUR TRUTH
Jealousy exists when somebody has something you want or can do something you can’t. Jealousy is the underlying garment that doesn’t shield you from yourself but instead places you on ‘front street’ for all to witness. Is this interesting yet? Let’s continue! Jealousy, which is one of many character traits that I describe and write about in my book, ‘Simply Common-Cents, the Discipline of Uncommon Reasoning,’ renders jealousy a ‘stuck point, ‘ which means that you’re in a serious rut, and you see no way out. There is no way out, determined by your refusal to admit this flaw or that you are comfortable with being jealous. Whatever the reason, jealousy is your weakness, and it is also your escape from being the person you could be if you tried.
However, for many, jealousy allows them to hate quietly. It will enable you to criticize secretly, allowing you to withdraw from your reality. To be a suspicious person is a mindful phenomenon that didn’t suddenly occur. It is not a flaw that you just happened upon, nor is it a figment of someone else’s imagination.
I find that jealousy will always find a way to undermine what you have done or to find fault with anything you wish to do. Jealousy is that ‘thing’ that speaks before you do and cripples any relationship that you might ever have now or in the future. The most challenging part of your jealousy is determining why! There is a reason, and there is a source. Here are a few suggestions to remedy that particular ‘stuck-point.’
Is jealousy a habit of yours? If so, why? Is jealousy a convenience? If so, why? Is jealousy a fabrication or an exaggeration? If so, why? Is jealousy a personal tool that allows you to escape the possible friendships that you could have? If so, there is a reason. If you care enough to find out, seek your truth, and then tell the truth before someone else tells the truth for you—# Food for thought.
I’m out. I just dropped the mic! Have a great day.
