Jealousy is almost always rooted in insecurity. Whether we’re comparing ourselves to strangers on social media or feeling inferior to a new colleague, jealousy is an emotion that can trap us in a self-perpetuating cycle of discontent.
Once we recognize where our jealousy comes from — feeling self-conscious about our looks or sensing distance from a romantic partner, for instance — we can begin to address the real issues and take constructive steps toward handling our envy.
This may look like building our self-confidence or initiating vulnerable conversations with loved ones who might not always realize how their actions affect us. If we don’t make an effort to change our perspective or our actions, jealousy can continue to fester inside us, leading to increased alienation and frustration.
Perhaps one of the hardest things to remember is that jealousy is a natural human emotion, and it’s OK to feel this way from time to time. Judging ourselves for feeling envious only makes it more difficult to heal.

Addiction Quotes

Quotes About Addictions

  • All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.  W. H. Auden (1907 - 1973), A Certain World (1970).
  • As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.  Henry Van Dyke, author (1852-1933).
  • Every clinging addiction I ever had came from a vain attempt to 'fill my cup' with something other than the Spirit of Christ.  Mark Wylie, Young Adult Minister for the University Church of Christ in Denver, CO.
  • For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over time, becomes an addiction... A lot of people suffer from this disease because negative thinking is addictive to each of the Big Three -- the mind, the body, and the emotions. If one doesn't get you, the others are waiting in the wings.  Peter McWilliams.
  • He who is alone with his sin is utterly alone.  Dietrich Bonhoeffer, pastor and theologian (1906-1945), Life Together.
  • I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster, or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of death from being a total surprise.  Chuck Palahniuk, Satirist, novelist, b. 1961.

  • Nothing is stronger than habit. Ovid (43 BC - AD 18).
  • O what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive! Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.
  • People who drink to drown their sorrow should be told that sorrow knows how to swim.  Ann Landers.
  • Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.  John W. Gardner, b. 1912, American Educator.
  • Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits them all.  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., American Jurist (1841 -1935).
  • Sin never fulfills its promises. It will take you farther than you wanted to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and make you pay more than you could ever afford.  Ken Davis, from Lighten Up.
  • The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.  Thomas Carlyle, 19th-century Scots-English historian, author (1795-1881); Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History, (1840).
  • The innkeeper loves the drunkard, but not for a son-in-law.  Yiddish Proverb.
  • There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.  William James (1842 - 1910), The Principles of Psychology (1890).

Self-Image Quotes

Quotes about Self-Image


  • Relentless, repetitive self-talk is what changes our self-image. --Denis Waitley
  • Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.
  • Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. Ann Landers

Oscar Wilde
Legendary Irish writer Oscar Wilde was a vibrant figure of late-19th-century society. He was a member of the Aesthetic movement, which upheld “art for art’s sake.” He was known as a finely dressed, decadent, and outspoken man who never tried to blend in with the crowd. Along with famous one-liners like this one, and writing books like "The Portrait of Dorian Gray," he’s well known for satirical plays such as “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Through his comedic works, Wilde mocked the hypocrisies of high society, and let his sharp wit run wild, as it were. He married a woman and became a father, but also had relationships with men, and was famously imprisoned for homosexuality for two years. Wilde lived as his fullest self and openly shared his loves, tastes, and opinions, regardless of what others thought. When we validate and love ourselves, we find we have a true companion for life. 


The One Thing That Determines Everything Else | MWM
Discover Your Strengths = You can parent with purpose by helping your child with their self-image. Self-image determines the friends someone hangs around with and even who they marry. The way a person sees others is influenced by how they see themselves. Having a low self-image can hold a person back because they can’t see themselves accomplishing a difficult, worthwhile goal. Help your kids see themselves well, and discover their own strengths. When they pursue those strengths to achieve and experience their own wins, it will build up their self-image.
#Self-image



Your Self-Image Determines Your Behavior = You need to allow yourself to see yourself well. If you see yourself as a 5 out of 10, then who you surround yourself with will also be in that category, and you won't go after the 8's, 9's, and 10's. Your self-image determines who you are around, even who you marry. Your behavior is not based on how you see other people, how you see a job, or how you see others—it's entirely based on how you see yourself.

        Leaders Bring People Together = Everything rises and falls on leadership. It is about building trust with the people you want to take somewhere. In a world that is divided, we need to challenge ourselves to show the world around us a different brand of leadership. Be a leader that takes a divided people and brings them together to do great things.  





        We are Better Together | MWM


        We Are Better Together 

        Go Far, Not Fast = People often opt to do things on their own because it’s seemingly faster and more efficient. But when we choose to take the solo route—sometimes, also the fastest route—we might miss out on the route that goes on for miles; the route that takes us to places we never could have imagined, but maybe somebody else can, and already has. That’s why we need people—because one is too small a number to achieve more than just speed. Slow down and work together.

        Togetherness
        On our own, we can accomplish some. But when we are a part of a team, we can accomplish more. The best things in life happen when we align ourselves with others—when we have people with whom we can share our experiences, our success, our feelings, our journeys. We need people.

        • People only see what they are prepared to see. --RALPH WALDO EMERSON
        • To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve. James Allen
        • We can always redeem the man who aspires and strives. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
        • The starting point of all achievement is desire. --Napoleon Hill
        • Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. --Mario Andretti
        • The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. --Confucius
        • Desire and happiness cannot live together. --Epictetus
        • Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most. --ABRAHAM LINCOLN

        • The eye sees all, but the mind shows us what we want to see. --William Shakespeare


        English novelist Phyllis Dorothy James, writing as P.D. James, introduced Scotland Yard detective Adam Dalgliesh in her 1962 debut novel “Cover Her Face.” This insightful observation by a secondary character comes at the end of “The Private Patient,” the 14th and final novel in James’ popular series, published nearly half a century later in 2008. The full quote notes that it takes wisdom to determine what you want, “and then to direct all your energies towards getting it.” James could very well have been reflecting on her own lengthy career as a successful novelist when she penned this scene, which offers the reminder that achieving a happy life requires both thoughtful contemplation and focused, sustained action.
