Overcoming Envy

Envy is that feeling that we have when we feel that we should have something that someone else has

. Envy occurs when we think that we are a better person and somehow got the short end of the stick in life. This may be the case but envy is never warranted and a truly mentally healthy man or woman will be able to overcome feelings of envy when they attack the mind. We are not impervious to these feelings regardless of who we are but the point is that we need to be able to squash them before they cause use to take any form of outward action.

The biggest factor in overcoming envy is to be comfortable with our own selves and have faith in God. Regardless of what we have or dont have life is still good. If we base our happiness on possessing things then we will never truly be happy because we can never own enough. Our feelings of happiness and security should come from the fact that we know that our God can and will take care of us in every situation or circumstance. We should be confident and comfortable with who we are. Our sense of happiness or comfort should not come from sources outside of ourselves, not in things or people. Learn to be comfortable in your own abilities and not to look at the abilities of others. Become self directed.

If you are uncomfortable with your own course through life maybe you need to make another plan and recommit. Learn to be confident in your own abilities. You have character traits that no one else has. There are things unique to you and only you. Find out what they are and learn to be comfortable in doing them. The more that you do them the better you will become.

Get a grip on your definition of success. Success is not necessarily having a top paying job or owning houses and land. If you are happy in life then consider yourself to be successful. One thing about life is that one day we all will die. It doesnt matter how much you have accumulated when you die it is left behind for someone else. Leave a legacy behind which is a legacy of your name and not of possessions.

Our competition is not with others but with self. Let your aim be to improve your own mind each and every time that you have the opportunity. You cant judge others by your own heart. You cant tie the world to your way of thinking. Dont abandon your course if you know it to be true. By the same token dont embark on a course until you are sure that it is the right one.

When we are led by what others think we dont have real confidence in our own abilities. The key is to develop a confidence in your abilities. Maybe you will have to give yourself some small victories to begin with. Learn how to not fall for the subtle tricks that people use to control your thoughts and emotions. Ignore the small nuances that you have been falling for all of these years. Learn to look people in the eye without wavering. Develop what the military calls a command voice. In other words talk to people like you mean what you are saying. People respond to the tone of voice that you use when you converse with them. If you sound timid they will not have respect for your words.

Recognize putdowns when they occur and learn to not respond to them. Take control of your own life and you wont have to worry about what others have accomplished in life. Riceland Enterprises
