Kate's Tip of the Week
Love is …… not envious!
All of us have some insecurities. Sometimes we keep them well hidden. One way we can spot them is when we find ourselves feeling jealous or envious of the one we love. On our lips is: “It’s not fair.” Or: “It’s all right for them”. “I wish I could…” “I wish I was…….”
Are you at home with who you are. Do you love yourself – not in a proud way, but can you accept yourself, even the less attractive bits? If you are able to do this, then you are less likely to wish you were someone else and become jealous of something about your loved one.
Can you enjoy the success of your spouse, when something goes well for them? Can you be genuinely pleased for them? Or, do you need to put them in their place every so often to help you feel better about yourself?
Envy leads to competitiveness. It is the seed of resentment, which grows into a weed that stifles love. Far better to root out the causes of envy before they take root. How about a bit of gardening today?
