Jealousy

If we are engaged in the business of pursuing our purpose there would be no need for jealousy. We feel jealousy when we opine that people want to outshine us. If we look within instead of outside we would know that everyone, including ourselves is on a personal journey. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
