Happy New Week. Yeah, this post isn’t really about the outfit, Although I am majorly crushing on this Summery shade of green. The ruffled eyelet sleeves sealed the deal and that the lace up wedges from Old Navy and Charming Charlie bracelets I already had, made this work so sweetly. Yet, what I want to talk about is envy. Remember I told you on Friday, Love Wins with my Graphic tee. Well, it really does and things like envy and jealously only cause hurt, especially for the person feeling that way.
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “Green with Envy” or the one about jealousy called “The Green-Eyed Monster.” Envy or jealousy is a negative emotion that surfaces when you compare what you have to what others have. If left unchecked, it’s a good way to make your life miserable. Jealousy can make you feel hard and this type of victim mentality can be damaging to your physical and mental health. Envy can foster distress, lead to resentment, and set us on the road to depression.
I have always been one of those people who is plum tickled for every great thing coming people's way! I get excited about other people's happiness or excitement. Of course, there have been times in my life here I may have said "Oh I wish I had her hair or boobs!" Or “I wish I had a Bentley." I mean, we all have at some point but that's so silly. No matter how bad we may have it at times, there is always something to be grateful for.
You'll feel better if you are thankful for the blessings and successes of others. Delight in the Joy of those you love and those you don't. It fills my heart to see other's happy and it breaks it when they are not.

There was a time in my life years ago where I was in despair but it was love that won in the end and always will if you fill your heart with positivity instead of woe.
Stay focused, positive, and happy for those who are doing amazing things or having amazing things happen. Because guess what? I bet you are too! You just have to BELIEVE that and recognize the positive and small joys in your life.
NOW, go Tackle this week with PURE LOVE!!!
