Today is Monday, April, 1, 2013 (April Fool's Day and brother Mark's 67th birthday.) My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes lifting weights and 51 minutes of walking = 2.7 miles for an April total of 2.7 miles. My weight was 162.2 pounds.
QUOTE from Anne Tyler, author: "People always call it luck when you've acted more sensibly than they have."
My THOUGHTS today are on Deadly Sin #3. Sin #3 is ENVY - DEFINED AS DISCONTENT OR ILL WILL AT ANOTHER'S GOOD FORTUNE BECAUSE ONE WISHES IT HAD BEEN HIS/HERS; DISLIKE FOR A PERSON WHO HAS WHAT ONE WANTS.
A successful lady in San Francisco admitted she was often envious of other women. Then she read a book entitled The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and learned to make a "jealousy map." (What follows is the "silver lining" in converting bad envy into good envy.)
A jealousy map is when you make 3 columns on a piece of paper and headline them: Who? Why? Now What? Now this successful lady writes down the person she envies, why she envies her, and what she's going to do about it. Now this lady has a call for action - it's a tool to motivate her.
What the experts say this lady has done is convert malicious envy (the classic sin) into benign envy (a potential win). The potential win is that it should motivate her to improve.
