The purpose of my blog is to inspire and shine a light on the beauty and power of the wonderful being inside your body. You came into this world to share what only you can give. Remember who you really are, conquer the world the way you always wanted to, and become the blessing to us all that you were meant to be.
Erika, Ruth Ginsburg repeated a line that her mother taught her. She was speaking of marital relationships, but it applies to all. She said “it helps to be a little deaf, at times.” Think about that. The best path forward is often not to say anything.
So, per your post, if you find yourself surrounded by jealous people, just smile gently, say nothing and keep walking. Keith
I fully get the message of that line. Ignoring can be a healing tool or one that keeps a good energy instead of feeding a bad one. Very good input here, Keith. Thank you!
That’s a fantastic definition of jealousy! It simply is the unhappiness with something in themselves which is mirrored by another person. But jealousy only comes to life when those jealous people don’t take responsibility to change anything about their unhappiness.
You’re right on target!
“When those jealous people don’t take responsibility to change anything about their unhappiness.”
They simply try to drag you into their own unhappiness.
Isn’t it an obvious explanation? They envy you for your own courage to simply go for what you stand for and be happy with it – because they may be too afraid to do it.
Oh, so the chocolate path is the answer Ericka. I’ve never seen so many jealous people around me because of the assortment I have 😂 🤣
Great quote dear lady, may your path find your destiny…choccy or not 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏼 🦋

An interesting thought. I had someone tell me Saturday that they were extremely jealous of me. It made me feel bad, but only for a minute. 🙂

Jealousy is such a negative emotion. It’s drains everyone. So much nicer to just be happy for others.

Jealousness is a sign non- contentment within. If others are jealous of you then you are definitely on your right path. Great quote and thought!

Right! They don’t want to change something about them and try to make that up in limiting others to do so!
