No I’m not saying that I’m a saint, there were times in the last few years where I felt upset over the achievements of others rather than happy, but God had been kind enough to show me that my way of thinking and viewing these situations is wrong.
When I look back at my life, I realize the happiest people and the ones with the highest degree of contentment, were the ones willing to give up their status and influence to honour others and not the ones who wanted to hog all the glory for themselves or their close connections, not only did these people have an apparent joy and contentment with their life, whether they were rich or poor, but they were also dearly loved and cared for by their friends and children and some of them had romantic partners as well.
Which is a huge achievement when you consider the high number of people who are not loved or respected or cared for by their network or intimate associates which is why I say we should avoid jealousy towards people.
Jesus said in the bible that his house is big enough for huge multitudes to enjoy paradise even on earth and you do not need to worry that somebody else will steal your crown, God is infinite and big enough to be shared, and trying to hoard benefits for yourself at the expense of others, will only limit or shorten your span of fortune so do not be jealous, be happy for others and God will be happy for you and so will your friends.
