Well, first you say you're "lazy." Are you sure that's what it is? Perhaps there's a medical reason for that. Why not get some blood work done to make sure you don't have a thyroid condition or something else that's sapping your energy? Call your doc & talk about it.

Secondly, I'd make a list of things I'm grateful for in my life. Once you see all the GOOD things you have, you might feel less envious. I seem to sometimes take for granted all my blessings ~ but if I see them on paper, I can't do that. Then after you've made the list of ALL of them, post them on your refrigerator so you can see them everyday.

I have a sticker on my bathroom mirror that says it all for me. It says: "You are looking at the problem." And it's true. The basis for ALL my problems is ME. If I have a problem today, I've got to look at myself and see what it is that's bothering me -- and what I can do about it. It's usually some character defect that I can take care of. Today I'm grateful. God bless. Hugs, Lee
Thanks for this!
