We all get jealous from time to time — what wakes the green-eyed monster for you?
Jealousy is not an emotion I bother with. I find it draining and it doesn’t help me to follow my dreams or bring me any joy. If I find some thing on my journey I am interested in, I look into whether it really is something that I want long-term and if the answer is yes, I figure out what I have to do to get it. This is where the fun starts. Is it a goal I really want or does it just look good on someone else? This process has taught me a lot about myself. I now realise if I am not prepared to put the effort in—the goal is not important to me.
Poetry is a new skill I am learning as I develop my blogging skills and the following limerick sums it up for me.
What is the point in being jealous
It doesn’t make us nice gals or fellas
Instead I like to set a goal
Achieve my desire and empower my soul
The secret to learning what is precious
I so admire anyone who can create poetry. It seems to be a skill that completely eludes me. Loved the limerick.
I thought that was me but then discovered i could get the hang of it.
Jealousy is natural but ultimately a waste of time. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself down and…..you know the rest!
Nice! I agree…. jealousy is such a waste of life!
