I've spent the last 4 1/2 on a strict time out...a little soul searchin' I guess you could say. Out of which came a new faith in myself. I now breath easier, laugh louder, cry harder, stand taller, reach further, desire more, and expect more.
For me the joys of life are...family, work, a nice smile, compliments, the sight of a child hugging their parent.
I am a woman~
I am beautiful~
I am smart~
I like & believe in myself!!

One thing I have noticed is that it's quite common for the people I know to actually NOT want to change and overcome their jealousy's even though they say they do. Change is within yourself. Is it that most people really DO want to change or overcome their jealousy but it's their fear of changing that gets in their way. This is significant because even though living with jealousy is often painful, they are more comfortable with things staying the way they are because it's familiar to them. Maybe you're not one of the people who is fearful of changing in order to overcome jealousy, but many people are. I have friends who have stayed in relationships that is/was lifeless but chose to stay in them because those relationships were familiar and they feared taking the risk to try to make it better or leave and find a new one. This is a lot like what happens when you make the decision to overcome your jealousy issues. You have to change from where you are now emotionally and personally to being in a place where you are fervently wanting something more (and better) for your relationships and your life. Jealousy keeps you stuck and if left unhealed, can and very often does ruin relationships. Allowing jealousy to continue to be a problem is not a recipe for a happy and successful life. The truth is that healing jealousy or anything else that is a problem in your life is something that does require effort. Overcoming jealousy requires you to look at yourself and your life in new ways and this effort, in our experience, is certainly worth it. When you overcome jealousy, the reward for overcoming it is the possibility of more love in your life and of having a relationship that is better than anything you thought was possible. Peace & God Bless!!!!!!!
