Do you get jealous

Not even a wee bit? It doesn’t dare creep into that little tiny splinter in your heart? I ask because everyone tells me they never get jealous. Never.

So I guess this post can only be about me. This is unfortunate because we’re told not to write about ourselves. I guess this post is for you to understand how someone like me feels when they get jealous.

Yes, I get jealous. I can admit that. I can be so riddled with it that I turn myself into a tortured soul for even thinking that way.

It makes me feel like a complete heel when a friend calls me up to tell me their wonderful news. For example, they’re promoted. They get a huge wage increase. Then definitely the green-eyed monster slips his noisy self into my heart. It laughs at me as it points to my failing in moving into a higher pay grade. I muddle through a congratulatory phrase, saying how happy I am for them.

All the while my monster is gnawing in my soul about how I didn’t make it. I’m still telling them how much they deserve it. I hang up and I slip away like a sore loser. It feels like everyone can read the loathing when I draw in my self-inflicted jealousy. It bothers me how this happens to me, once again.

I can heal this

Now since I’m the only one afflicted with this state of mind, I will overcome it. I will do my best to see if I can use it to propel myself into a better state of affairs.

The next time that little bugger seeps into my psyche I can push it right on out of my veins. I can breathe into it. Acknowledge the futility of my incessant dribble about my lacklustre life. Instead, because my friend had such wonderful LUCK. I can too.

It couldn’t be they worked harder, instead of dawdled about. They may have taken some courses to help them become more knowledgeable for the job. Another possibility is that they can get along with others better.

Yep, I will set up some goals so I can improve and then move forward.

Now see how a little green envy can turn your negative into a positive? I’m so glad we had this discussion because now you see that I’m finally like everyone else. I don’t have a jealous bone in my body.
