In the last blog we discussed what the elements of “Love are”, and today I want to talk about what “Love is not”.  I want to share with you that I have come to understand that “In a Loving Heart” there is no room for jealousy and envy.  Those traits and actions can’t exist in the nature of a person who carries a loving heart. This is something that we must be aware of and if we tetter on the edge of jealousy trying to sneak in, we have to make every effort to protect the integrity of our heart. 

I could never understand the emotional need to be jealous and envious of someone else’s life and the good fortune in their life.  I always find a sense of joy and inspiration in being able to happy for someone that has received a gift of “good things happening in their life.  It validates for me that there is joy, and an energy of “goodwill” moving through each of us at points in our life.  We must be vigilant in our quest to keep our “Soul” free from emotions and negative energies that would taint the luster and beauty of who we are divinely meant to be and express. 

Being happy for someone else and the things they are doing or accomplishing in life does not take anything away from our own happiness or sense of wellbeing.  Instead, it is a good thing to be in relationship with people that are happy and invested in their life.  You see when we are able to rejoice for people and support people in their life, somehow our blessings are lining up to shower our lives with the goodness and enrichment that we need to enhance the quality of our own life experiences.  Jealousy and envy can take you out of alignment with the goodness that is a promise of our birthright. 

We all have moments when we feel like “I wish I…”, and it is a normal human fleeting moment that we don’t want to get stuck in!  If we slip down that slope and get stuck in a pattern of operating our life out of jealousy and begrudging people of their happiness, we will rob ourselves of the same happiness.  There is a real toxic energy that vibes with jealousy, envy, and ‘Why not me”! We don’t want to give into vibrations that are below our “Souls” level of grace and beauty.  It is a long journey on this life’s road of twist and turns, but if we stay in our lane and continue to work on striving to be the best version of ourselves, we will reap the rewards we are entitled to.
