ENVY AND JEALOUSY

Well, as you grow older, the devil will most likely introduce this new form of negativity in your life. Envy and Jealousy.
Well, i bet this at one time has happened to every one of us.
There will always be some one better than you or more resourceful than you and this feeling of envy and jealousy does trickle in.
As we grow older, especially after getting a couple of degrees, the journey for self definition begins. Its time to make a name for yourself. No more can you ride on the achievements or on the name of your parents. Most usually in this race to make it, some negative energy comes in as you fall short of your expectations and you see others achieving more than you do.
Have you really ever felt this way? i guess so. This kind of negative energy does positively push you to achieve higher and higher. However, it is useful to get rid of all envy and jealousy.
Believe it or not, this is one of the greatest causes of stress and a major killer. You do not need this in your life. I want you to know that it is possible to have this out of your life. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God to achieve greatness in this life. Whenever this bad energy comes in, please overcome evil with good.
God has called us to this earth with different purposes for our lives. Our challenges and failures should be closely examined. Some of these will be genuine leanings that God is giving us or they could be signals that you are pushing too far in an area that is not part of your calling and destiny.
Find out what your calling is in life and be happy as you do fulfill your calling. You can not be the best in everything. Understand this, appreciate this and be happy for people in life. I know that we usually suffer because of ignorance and lack of knowledge.
Go ahead and forgive yourself for all the bitterness and envy you have had in your life and live in love with every one. You now know how special you are and how focussed you should be on that calling which God has given you in life. Doing your part in this Universe is just enough. Know your limit and thank God for allowing you know this.
