Is that green grass...or astroturf?

Do you suffer from WHAT-YOU-SEE-SICKNESS?

Are you always comparing your outsides to other people's outsides – and thereby getting jealous that others might have more than you?

If so, keep in mind:

1. The grass is always greener on the other side – until you get there and find out it's astroturf. Symbols are not reality. Someone might have amassed material success, but this doesn't mean that they are truly happy. And happiness is the holy grail – not material success. So, don't go judging a person's book of their life by their cover. You must read at least 127 pages of "THE BOOK OF WHO SOMEONE REALLY REALLY IS" to know where that person is truly at. (Remember: there are many successful people – aka Marilyn Monroe – who seemed to have had it made, but were coming undone.)

2. You can't have everything in this world. You just have to make sure you have the right something for you. Each of us has our own unique gift – and your gift is not a one-size-fits-all. No one of us is on the same path.

3. Feeling competitive can sidetrack you – as a unique individual – with your own personalized monogrammed long-term goals – from pursuing what you must pursue.

4. Don't compete with others. Compete with yourself. Ask yourself: "How can you improve your skillsets and thereby improve your cockiness – so you can shhhhhusssh your near-sighted-not-very-clear-sighted jealous mind?" Remember: Anything you can do you can do better!

5. Overnight success never happens overnight. But the universe's delays are not the universe's denials. Envision what you want as being stuck on a delivery truck – just a wee bit stuck in traffic – but coming towards you right now - maybe even a week from next Tuesday!
