Breaking Free From The Chains Of Envy And Pessimism
You would think that if you allowed someone to get close to you, they would never betray you. That is a false belief! After years of believing they truly cared about you, the moment you become successful or distance yourself from them can mark the beginning of ongoing distress they’ll wish upon you. Are your shortcomings your fault, or are they bringing you “BAD LUCK?”
If you think the same way as people who don’t believe in you, “bad luck” will keep coming back to haunt you. Your life will always be difficult if you believe that it will be.
Indeed, everyone faces hardships in life; it’s inevitable. However, those who experience a consistent pattern of “bad luck” should engage in self-reflection and/or question certain people in their lives.

Navigating Life With Jealous Influences
A hardworking man named Karon comes home after a long day at work. A few hours later, he hears a loud noise and rushes outside, only to see two thieves running away after vandalizing his car and stealing parts from it. Mind you, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to Karon.
You might think, “Well, situations like this happen to plenty of people who aren’t on anyone’s bad side.” While that’s true, what if Karon has associates who have been jealous of him for years and sent criminals to his house to destroy his property? Or perhaps an ex who never healed from their breakup sent people she knows to his house. I’d suggest praying for those who do not wish you well. As they say, “Be careful what you wish for.”
There will always be those who dislike you, no matter how sweet, calm, and drama-free you are.
If someone you were close to suddenly becomes envious of you, you should be ready to move in silence. You are under no duty to reveal all of your goals to individuals of that caliber. If the wrong person knows too much about your personal life, they might begin to spread rumors. Therefore, before letting anyone in, exercise your best judgment.
