Wov acording the comments, a lot of fast readers here! :) I started reading the article after 10 seconds of posting and just finished it.
Good post! I also think honesty and being yourself is a key of success.
Your advice about let the hate go is very true. You cannot create good things if you are jealous and full of hate.
I think it is also important to not blame others or the system if you are not successful, just try to learn from others, and improve yourself.
Yes, it's easy to fall prey to jealousy. It happens to me too. Some of my artist friends are doing much better than me, money-wise with posts recently. It makes me pause and reflect. Then I have to ask myself: what is the goal? Is it to create value or money, or both? Right now, for the last days, I've felt overwhelm, as I have a long backlog of secrets to publish. The Secret Writer Project is actually a job now. I'm probably due for a break.
Back to jealousy. When writing posts, it's better to just forget about all the other posts out there. Or, if you're feeling frustrated, stop posting altogether for a few days and pour out your heart on commenting. See what happens, experiment with different strategies. There are loads of people hungry for comments.
Stellabelle, I also think that the presence of hate or even anger in us is pointing us to what we need to look at about ourselves and can be clues as to what we need to do next in our own lives. These things then point us to what will release us from the hate or anger. :) Sometimes, if it's something that we can do nothing about then indeed, letting go of it is the best thing to do. :)
Spot on! I left a similar comment. Reading Byron Katie and doing some of her worksheets really helped me resolve so many long-standing issues in my life.
Cool, just checked out Byron Katie and found this interesting under the Money Category on http://www.byronkatie.com/2015/11/thought-thursday-35/
On Work and Money
When you lose something, you’ve been spared—either that or god is a sadist. How do I know I don’t need money? It’s gone! I’ve been spared: what I would have done with that money would obviously have been much less useful for me than losing it. —Byron Katie
