Welcome
What a blessing it is to live and breathe. I thank God today for life
and for the many awesome and wonderful things he has done for me and my
family. One main gift I am thankful for is being on the ground and
walking around with my own two feet. On Tuesday I went on an airplane
for the first time in twenty-two years! Needless to say I was a bit
nervous. But I discovered that flying is not so bad when you take the
proper precautions—namely Dramamine.
My topic this week is Envy. A few newsletters back we discussed how we
should react when others are envious of our accomplishments. This week
I want to talk about when we are envious of others.
I have included the above link to sign up for a free confidence-building
course. I hope that all of you take advantage of this opportunity. I
have started taking it and have been pleased so far. Its very short and
only requires about 15 minutes of your time each week.

This Week’s Challenge:
Think about a time when you felt envious of another person. Who were
they? What caused your feelings of envy? Do you still carry those
feelings in your heart? Write your answers in your journal.

Envy
By Dietta L. Stewart ã2002
How do you feel when you see or hear about someone else being blessed?
Are you happy for them or do you feel left out and longing for your
blessing to come?
Most likely the news is not a problem if it’s about someone you barely
know or is not in your peer group. But many times when we see or hear
of people around our own age advancing beyond where we are it can be a
problem.
The title of an article in the Ladie’s Home Journal (February 2001
pg.124,154-158) labeled this problem as an epidemic: The Envy Epidemic.
The article basically stated that because of the thriving economy (at
that time) people are becoming richer quicker and at younger ages,
causing those who can’t keep up to feel inadequate.
Envy can fill our hearts when we feel inadequate or when we aren’t
living up to our own expectations. When we struggle with feelings of
envy, instead of repressing those feelings we should allow them to be a
sign as most of our emotions are, of something much deeper. Then, we
should work to get to the root of our envy and heal that.
If you discover that you are struggling with feelings of inadequacy
then you’ll know that you need to do some self-esteem work. If you find
that you aren’t living up to your own expectations, then you’ll know you
need to reevaluate your goals and either get busy or be honest with
yourself and readjust your expectations.
Peace and balance fills our heart when we come to terms with any
feelings of envy we might have.
