The long road to better

"Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them." ~Jennifer James

De-lurking for the first time. :)

I love the quote and the picture. Thank you for the reminder about the person I want to be.

You should put together a book of quotes and pics. I would definitely buy it.

Curly, sisterhood needs to be reminded sometimes of how wonderful we all are :-)

Katie, nice to "see" you, LOL! I guess this blog is a virtual book of sorts... hope you come back, somehow weird things always manage to crop up here in terms of images n'quotes...

Daring, yes yes! But a good mouthful.
