Hi Josephine,

Envy has been one of my challenges. I'm not sure what "help" I can give you - it sounds as though others are envious of you - though I can tell you of my own dealings with envy. In my case, the envy went both ways (I was very jealous and others were jealous of me right back) - and perhaps, because at an eary age (much like you) I showed tremendous talent in whatever I did, others were naturally jealous of me. As I've gotten older, I still see that I can easily intimidate others, but have begun to be at peace with the skills I've been given, putting them to the best use possible for the benefit of all beings, not worring what others say or think, trusting in EWOP as I go. What I mean is this - we can't change what others thing or say of us, all we can change is ourselves. If I worry about what others say or think of me, then I'll get just the kind of thinking I'm trying to avoid. When I relax into who I am, and being my best, I tend to neither worry what others think, nor do they seem to judge me as much. Energy flows where attention goes. And EWOP does happen.

In my case, the physical manifestation of too much jealousy was to get gallstones. I had to do some serious work in my garden, serious revision of my diet and exercise, and a major overhaul of what I think about to get that little organ back in shape. When I get a massage, my thereapist does reflexology on my feet - and often I ask her to press on the gallbladder spot, just to do a check-in. I'm sending you positive mana that you'll not wind up with the physical illness to match the jealousy as I did - you see quite wise for your years, my dear ;-)

Blessings on your journey,

Mahalo, mahalo nui loa :)
This question has troubled me for some time now and today I noticed, that I have too much focus on that, so I understood that if I continue this way it will just get worse... and then I thought that only ohana can help me here :)

Can't tell you how thankful I am for your reply.
Love and blessings to you, Silverdeer! :)

I'm now determined to stick with a daily plan which is composed of 11 obligatory points and various optional ones. I will write down notes about my success in a notebook so that I get more inspired and motivated. So far it's going really well and I'm willing to continue in the same manner. The point is to do all the 11 points each day and do as many optional points as possible. I love to challenge my limits :)

I saw that you keep things in a notebook. Since I am a huge OneNote junkie. I thought I would mention it to you. I believe its the best program ever written by microsoft. If 100 dollars wouldnt set you back to much I think its one of the best programs if you happen to keep notes like you mentioned or just organize ideas..

the above link will take you to a 60 day free trial of the program. I use to have atleast 10 notebooks laying around my house I kept lists, notes and various junk in.. Now I just use this program, and the best part, I can search on those things and actually find the information I am looking for.. lol..

I'm using OneNote too! I write down my dreams there. I love the idea of journaling but somehow I could not stick to it. I don't know what to write about :)



Many blessings!
Sam

Well thanks for advice, but I guess that I'll consider this option when I get a real job, cause I don't earn my own living yet. The other thing is that I really like the writing process itself and as I try to reduce the time spent on computer then I'll just stick with notebook thing for a while.
peace and blessings :)

Josephine,

You've got me curious. Care to share the story behind your EWOP day?

Sorry, Silverdeer for not replying to your question... I've been really busy these days as I'm now studying in college. I've moved to another city and now live by the sea side :) which is awesome, but the climate here is kinda rough so I'm now sleeping in my bed and hoping to get back on feat as soon as possible :D

To be honest, I had forgotten to have fun for a while, but now I'm myself again :D And yeah, you're absolutely right it is exciting and challenging and I just love it!
I'm studying translation and interpreting and it's awesome, 'cause almost every lecture is being held in English. :) The tough part is to do all the home assignments.

Hee hee, me too, Ku gave me a literal pain in the neck earlier today to remind to slack off and have a laugh now and then :-)


Love to you,

Well all of us Josephine have experience with relationships ;-) As far as advice, we can share the ways in which we've handled things ourselves, and it will benefit you most if you will make your own way and choices. If you're asking to hear about my successes and blunders, then I'm more than happy to share. If you're asking me to tell you what I would do in your situation, I don't feel qualified. I'm happy to listen to your challenges, and happy to support you by sharing my own. Let me know if that is what you would like.

Blessings on your journey,
