Jealousy and anxiety BEGONE

Jealousy and anxiety BEGONE

"For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice"

The above statement comes from the book of James in the New Testament of holy scripture.

Here in April of 2025, I am going to put this into practical terms for the "here and now".

Gentlemen: This verse is applicable to many areas of the life that we all want to live. If there is one sort of life that you want to live, there is also one sort of life that you wish to avoid.

Jealousy and selfishness are not good ... at any point in time or at any point in your life.

The race is not against others. It's only against yourself. Test me on this one. Then - trust me on this one.

Ever been in a dating relationship with a woman who was hot and highly sought after?

Ever had the job that all others around you wanted?

You may be tempted to go into "over-protective" mode or into "guarding your own fort". Cast said temptations aside, men.

Instead, be glad that you have a woman/job/situation/you get the picture that others want.

Be confident in the abilities that attracted the beautiful woman to you, but be confident that you would be fine (or perhaps even better) if she left you.

Realize that you were placed in your job for a reason. Remind your superiors of this on a regular basis with your skills and your actions. You will be all right.

Realize that success always produces "haters". But there is no room in this world for "haters". Haters merely hate the fact that they were not successful in a certain situation.

Instead of taking action, they hate the one who took action and who was successful.

Not masculine. Not good.

"Masculine" means casting your own vision for your own life and then putting said vision into action: Not with cockiness, but with confidence.

More to come soon.
