Life is not a one day journey, so be careful!”

“We usually think that envy happens over one's appearance, wealth, status. But that's not what causes intense forms of envy. Intense forms of envy are caused by one's energy: the atmosphere you bring into a room, the way your eyes glisten and sparkle when you laugh from your soul, the way another person's eyes glisten and sparkle when they mention your name. Envy of your energy can be the most damaging form of harshness you'll ever become victim of. People will do ANYTHING to rob you of the soul - space you inhabit. Anything to dull that glow in your eyes.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“The most envious of all people on earth are those who are extremely ambitious but too lazy to take action.”

“Be yourself! Don’t be somebody! Be humble to authority, but be assertive! Mind your solemn duty and responsibility to the Supreme God, for you shall give account to Him in the end! You were created uniquely, mind your mind! Mind the things that can change your mindset, and mind people! People are always alert to do all things possible to change your mind set. They wish you become the reason for their joy even if it causes you an inner pain! They wish you halt a purposeful journey. They wish you look and see, hear and listen, think and act, as they do! Their joy is to see you being like them, and their sorrow and envy is to see you living your true you! Be yourself! If only you living your true you please God, no problem exists! Just be yourself and mind your mind!”
― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

“It is very easy for people to be kind to those who are less fortunate than they are. What's not easy, is for people to be kind to those whom they find intimidating, to those they feel best them in one way or another. I admire a person who can be kind to someone who outshines them. Now that's solid kindness.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Sólo en tu corazón está "tu propio bien".
Muchos de los consejeros son fanáticos del auto-elogio y te tratan de convencer de que hagas las cosas... que ellos mismos hicieron. Aconsejarte es una manera que tienen de tirarse flores, de aplaudir sus decisiones, de aplaudir sus hazañas, de aplaudir su vida.
Y si estás sin Autoestima, si estás hundido, a lo mejor los escuchas y te manejan. Te manejan como la corriente que lleva a los pescados muertos del río. Y, si encima son envidiosos, sus malos consejos procuran alejarte de tu propio destino para no sufrir ellos al ver encenderse tu luz.

("el mapa de la autoestima" martin ross)”
― Violet Florence Martin, El Mapa de la Autoestima

“¿Cuál es el principal efecto del sentimiento de Envidia?
El deseo de despreciar, devaluar, al envidiado. Se intenta quitarle condición de hazaña a sus hazañas.
Al devaluar al envidiado, el envidioso logra dejar de sufrir la envidia, y por eso trata de argumentar, pensar, y denostar la hazaña del otro para tratar de quitarle brillo. A medida que le quita esplendor, disminuye su sufrimiento.
Es decir: contrariamente a lo que el sentido común indica, el principal efecto de la Envidia no es “Destruir” sino “Despreciar”.”
― martín ross, EL M.A.S. Y EL M.A.P.: una teoría psicológica

“She was more interested in observing the girls at the café. She wanted to know how is it that they look so happy, so content with life? Is it money that brings happiness? Why is it that she feels this never-ending emptiness within her soul?”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Tajrish

“Jealousy comes from deep within; it just takes time to unfold.”
― John Joclebs Bassey, Night of a Thousand Thoughts

“Envy is itself a terrible obstacle to happiness. I think envy is immensely promoted by misfortunes in childhood. The child who finds a brother or sister preferred before himself acquires the habit of envy, and when he goes out into the world looks for injustices of which he is the victim, perceives them at once if they occur, and imagines them if they do not….Merely to realise the causes of one’s own envious feelings is to take a long step towards curing them. The habit of thinking in terms of comparisons is a fatal one. When anything pleasant occurs it should be enjoyed to the full, without stopping to think that it is not so pleasant as something else that may possibly be happening to someone else….With the wise man, what he has does not cease to be enjoyable because someone else has something else. Envy, in fact, is one form of a vice, partly moral, partly intellectual, which consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations….You cannot, therefore, get away from envy by means of success alone, for there will always be in history or legend some person even more successful than you are. You can get away from envy by enjoying the pleasures that come your way, by doing the work that you have to do, and by avoiding comparisons with those whom you imagine, perhaps quite falsely, to be more fortunate than yourself”
― Bertrand Russell
