Release the hinge of jealousy that binds you. Release your creativity, you will feel better and improve your self-esteem knowing that you are the best version of yourself. Nobody’s opinion of your work or your value is more important than what you think of yourself!

I can remember a time in my small town in Texas when you were actually discouraged from doing anything other than grain or artistic. – Aren’t they both the same?

Growing up with nearly half a dozen other children, relatives, and extended family members was fun, yet highly stressful and competitive.

There really was no reason to be competitive when you’re selective about how you engage your daily habits, traits, or competencies.

Children are often discouraged from doing things that come naturally to them and these things can be as simple as wanting to explore and discover their difference compared to others and their similarities.

Growing up with a different mindset, while trying to blend into a group setting, is never easy or without challenges. Some normal and abnormal, invasive, or often spontaneous challenges are not acceptable and must be addressed at all levels.

How many of us have been held back simply by the threatening and condescending spirit of restlessness and greed that we are exposed to and experience without any constructive purpose or reason? You guessed it, JEANS! You are being yourself and other people cannot handle what you are doing when you are being yourself, being happy and MOST IMPORTANTLY: some people are uncomfortable with being comfortable in your own skin.

You were painting your heart and you made the mistake of revealing your work to family or friends and instead of receiving encouragement, you received negative and inappropriate comments about how much time you spend on your artwork. Or let’s say you created a wonderful cookie and cake display and placed your baked goods on beautiful, colorful, exotic plates to share with friends and family only to be reprimanded for baking sugary temptations for them, without worrying about their sugar intake.

They call you a temptress, rather than a talented baker. Oh, but wait, they also insulted their dishes for being of foreign origin and for their lack of support for the need to make, buy or appreciate American products built by American industries. ALL of these events and occasions are NOT grounds for negotiation, reprimand, or humiliation.

NO! These beautiful and heartfelt contributions are gifts made or created as an external expression of your inner, unique and innate creative imagination. The creations of your mind manifest out of feeling and thought in a three-dimensional reality. {Standing ovation, applause!} Wow, you’re an amazing and innovative human being!

Realize you’ve been discouraged enough and decide that living your life and being committed RIGHT NOW is the perfect time to undo the strings of jealousy that have bound you for too long!

Loosen your ability to design your creations and expose the planet in a blaze of your created innovations and watch you create more and more mind-blowing masterpieces!

Enhance or hone your talents and skills and see how you feel better starting MORE self esteem, you exude wonderful self esteem and that is something that selfish ones cannot take away from you or me.

Self-esteem isn’t bad, it’s what motivates you and me, a great work ethic, and hones our remarkable, marketable, and supportive way of achieving goals and being successful, proactive, and phenomenal human beings.

Your self-esteem contributes to humanity, elevates yours and the collective / connective vibration and invites a greater exchange of energy.

You are energetically unleashing your potential by showing how positively you value your efforts and learning that you deserve the accolades that follow.

Having a rope of jealousy around your neck only serves to mislead others about how truly powerful you are. Give up jealousy and its damaging energy, don’t let someone else’s low self-esteem inhibit your ability to shine. By being your personal best in every endeavor and achievement, you will generate a positive trajectory, at least while you are on this plane of existence. Don’t pay attention to jealous people, actions or vibes.

It is like tying your own hand behind your own back. Loosen that tie of jealousy that binds you!

Jealousy is corrosive, destructive energy does not belong to you and has never belonged to you and it is up to you to reveal and redeem the wonderful person you are and the many gifts that have been kidnapped, deceived, hidden, repackaged or copied appeasing the unworthy. Or delusional fools who can never hold a candle in front of you!

Time to get real with yourself!

If no one gives you the appreciation and encouragement you deserve, then it’s up to you to do it yourself!

Take photos of your cookie or cake display and enjoy seeing your own hard work, if only for your own benefit.

Let your soul fill with encouragement and pride for a job that required your time, effort, money, or innate ability or courageous talent.

Be true to yourself just by being yourself.

Do what you love to do and be the best at what you love to do the most!

You are a wonderful, unique, talented individual and simply put: Yahweh broke the mold after He created you, so you and everything you do is unique, unique and amazing, to say the least!

When we enjoy doing something artistic or creative and other people can’t handle our differences and worse, they start trying to bring you down, it’s simply their problem and not yours.

Don’t close and seal the doors of your own creativity to appease anyone, not even friends, co-workers, stalkers, kidnappers, or family members. They need to create their own light and make it shine and not dim yours. JUST SAY, and that’s my two cents for the day!

** I enjoy learning from you and others by continually offering me knowledge!
