Green-eyed Monster

Envy, a monster  we often fail to recognize.  A fierce foe to conquer because he will squeeze the  joy and life out of his victim. And yes, I have to deal with him too,  from time to time.

Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own. ~Harold Coffin 


Envy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self worth. Each of us has something to give that no one else has. ~Elizabeth O'Connor 

Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy. ~François Duc de La Rochefoucauld 

Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate. ~William Arthur Ward 

Instead of focusing on what others have that I don’t, I thank God for what I do have. And before I know it, I forget what I’m envious about because I’m drowning in a sea of blessings. ~Rissa S. Kawpeng
