The second of the troublesome four is
jealousy.
Jealousy is a morbid emotion that looks for anything that will cause
suffering. With jealousy an individual
feels threatened by the loss of control over another person or situation. It is
a feeling of suspicion and mistrust. Jealousy corrodes and destroys everything it
touches. Jealousy is really a feeling of being unlovable and in constant danger
of losing. It is based in uncertainty and
fear. The opposite of jealousy is trustworthiness.
It means to trust in your own ability to rely upon yourself to feel loved,
honored and worthy. Trust always has the advantage because trust seeks to
create good will and not destroy. Replace jealousy with trust in yourself and
give up trying to control others or other situations. Find your balance, your strength
and be flexible to the ever-changing nuances of life. Trust in yourself.
Love yourself by focusing on
your wonderful qualities. Use your trustworthiness to make the world a better
place and jealousy will be replaced with prosperity. Remember this; even love
focused entirely on another human being cannot bring fulfillment in the long
run. Focus on your self-worth and you
will find the fulfillment you seek. Transcending jealousy we find divine and
eternal love. This frees us to rejoice in the pleasures of others without envy
or jealousy even while dealing with our own disappointments and problems.
Replace jealousy with trustworthiness and the worth of your soul will
shine through in all of life’s ups and downs.
