What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: our life is the creation of our mind.

Poignant Paragraph | Jealousy
Some may not find inspiration from a mantra such as; you only have one life and you’re not coming back, so make the most of it. But, I do. Too often I see people miserable with their current situations and quite often jealousy leads their thoughts.
The other day I was flipping through a book my husband is reading and landed on this extremely poignant paragraph.
“I know some people who are extremely jealous. They see somebody blessed and prospering, and rather than being happy for that person and rejoicing, the jealous person seeks to find fault. Interestingly, that person could have enjoyed the same success and fulfillment, but he or she is unwilling to pay the price. That person wasn’t willing to obey his or her conscience, to discipline himself or herself, or to make the sort of sacrifices the successful person made to get ahead.” ~ source Become a better you. Joel Osteen
P.S.
Jealousy is just another excuse for not getting stuff done!
