The Green Monster

It may not be often that the green monster rears it's head, but when it does be very cautious because it doesn't care about the feelings of others. It's very self absorbed and acts in a very hurtful manner. It strikes out at anyone who has what it wants. There is a green monster that resides in all of us and suprises us each time it rears it's ugly head. We refer to our emotions of jealousy and envy as the green monster because when they appear we lose all sense of self. Being jealous and envious should not be thought of as negative emotions because they only reflect how we truly feel. Instead of feeling guilty about having these feelings, we should be embracing them. Once we learn what we desire then we can begin planning how to attain it. Today, think about the times that the green monster showed up in your life. How did you react? Instead of working against these feelings, be open to what they are trying to tell you. Be honest with yourself and what your heart desires, then you will be more at peace.

Embrace all of your emotions, for they all serve a higher purpose...

(Sometimes if given the time, we find that the initial feelings we have are lust. Just wanting something because it's so beautiful or outrageous, but if given time it doesn't fit our lifestyle. Even fame and fortune takes work.)
