Living in harmony with others can be very difficult in these times. Many people get wrapped up in their own world and can forget that their behavior towards others can affect their own lives. Throughout our lives we experience anger, jealousy, envy, and resentment at one point or another, and no one is perfect. But all these negative emotions can eat you up and create havoc like no other in your life.
Anger
There is not a soul on earth that has not been angry with someone they felt had wronged them. It is in our nature to be angry. The average person can get angry several times a day. Has he ever been in a department store on the day of the biggest sale and that overzealous woman almost beat him up for the bargain? How about when the person next to you hogs all the deals and you feel like telling them what you think? You find yourself biting your tongue to keep from saying some not-so-appropriate comments. I’m sure some people have witnessed an overly dramatic scene at a family gathering when too many personal matters are brought up out of anger.
Anger can cause a lot of problems and it will rear its ugly head whenever our negative emotions take over. Many times the person you are angry with does not even realize how much pain and confusion the situation has created in your life. Some people are fully aware but don’t even care. While you drown in anger and hold a grudge, they walk around just as content with their lives.
Sorry
The act of forgiving is a difficult thing to do for many people. Quite a few people feel that forgiving someone is letting the person get away with their dirty deed and forcing that person to do the dirty deed again.
The act of forgiving is not really for your benefit. Some people don’t care if they are forgiven. The act of forgiveness is for you. Forgiveness releases the negative hostile energy within you. This hostile energy is often responsible for diseases. The word disease means restless. When you are angry, you are definitely not at ease. Anger can cause stress and can also cause blood pressure levels to rise, which could contribute to heart disease, stroke, and other complications. It may not be easy, but it would be beneficial for everyone to learn to forgive.
forgive yourself
In some cases, the person who did the dirty deed may feel they need the other party’s forgiveness to move on. But actually they can forgive themselves, the other party is not needed. There is no power outside of yourself greater than within your own being.
Jealousy
Jealousy is a very negative emotion. Negative emotions block positive results. Good things will not come to you with so much negativity. People tend to block their blessings when they don’t want blessings for others. If you want the best for yourself, you must want the best for others.
Jealousy is not just a negative emotion, it puts you in a state of lack. When you are jealous you are afraid of losing something for another. For example: Losing the special person in your life to another. Have you seen the woman who is so afraid of her partner ending the relationship that she drives him away with unnecessary accusations of infidelity? So, in a sense, she created her own loss.
Sometimes people experience jealousy when someone is complimented on their looks or talent; they feel it diverts attention from them. What they’re saying is that they can’t shine anymore because someone else stole the spotlight. It sounds silly but it happens. That’s when they start to feel insecure and then it all goes downhill. The more you focus on the lack, it will show up in your life and create more problems than you can deal with.
To envy
Envy usually occurs when you want what another person has. Every time you want what someone else has, you’re saying I don’t have it. Again, you are focusing on the lack of having something.
People who experience abundance, prosperity, and love are often positive people who realize that there is enough prosperity, love, and abundance to go around. There’s no need to feel like you can’t achieve or have anything you want.
Resentment
Resentment is another negative emotion.
Some people harbor animosity against others who feel they don’t deserve good things. For example; seeing others succeed and actually feeling like they don’t deserve success. They may feel spiteful and have a petty desire to humiliate or annoy that person.
This emotion also puts you in a state of lack. What you are saying is that nobody deserves anything. What you do not want for others cannot come to you. In most cases, people tend to “reap what they sow.”
Love
It is said that love is the strongest positive emotion that humans have. It is said that love is the answer to all problems on this earth. Many people tend to laugh at that concept. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard the saying “Love can’t pay the bills.”
benefits of love
Do you remember the moment when you looked at your partner or that special person in your life and that strong emotion called love filled every inch of your inner being? Or do you remember when you held your newborn in your arms and that positive loving feeling like no other shone so brightly within you that everyone could see it on your face?
That strong positive feeling is a gift from God to you. It has been proven that people who have more love in their lives are healthier and more content with their lives. If love is believed to be the strongest emotion, just think that if we learned to use it more often we would be healthier and experience more love, abundance and prosperity, and every other positive possibility under the sun. So in a sense, love could pay the bills. And remember friends, when you see an attractive person command attention while walking around wearing the latest fashions, even though you may not have the same outfit or even look the least bit like that person, you still have within you the ability to to be whatever. you dream. Let go of destructive emotions, because there is no need to carry so much negativity.
