Without doubt, without alteration and without exception, a greater group and percentage of the most depressed and miserable people in life are those filled with envy.
Envy kills your happiness, it disorganizes your thinking, it eats away your soul, it destroys your emotions, it reduces your visions and it steals your joy.
People with envy have no other thoughts occupying their minds than the need and desire for what someone else already has and as a result, this leads to a build up of depression, resentment and strife with the individual.
If you think you are free from this, then you have every reason to be happy but before you rejoice, then ask yourself these questions.
Do I always act defensive? If someone's name pops up in a conversation or in a talk, do I feel happy or do I find myself feeling good because something bad has happened to them? Do I find it hard to compliment others? Have I become suspicious of those who have achieved more than me? Do I trust people I love or am I always checking up on them? Do I fill my mind with what other people are buying, wearing or what they do and who they associate with? Do I always want more than others? The bible says it all "envy can eat you up.
" Proverbs 14:30.
