Quote: Nothing is worth more than this day
Oh my God!
I am on my way to the hospital after this post. I am scared to death. I am so anxious and worried. I have this crazy mix of feelings.
I am crying at times
Smiling at others
I am feeling groggy. can’t stop cracking my knuckles- and they aren’t popping!. I need to get a grip of myself!
I’ve been going through all my emails and over 600 comments just to gather up all the names I need for prayers- writing each nickname down made feel special. Thank you all for taking the time by feeding me your thoughts. I truly feel blessed. I don’t believe I’ve got more than 4 pages of nicknames. I hope I don’t feel silly calling nicknames during prayers. =)
I am caressing my belly with my hands. I can feel him move. God after all this time, all these long months- I just can’t believe how close we’ve come. Time has passed us by fast. I am holding the last ultrasound with his face- I can’t wait to see him, hold him, kiss him, and whisper that he made mommy a very happy person. It's all surreal...
I haven’t slept cuz of the contractions. I hope I have the energy to push!
I am very scared.
Pray for me.
For everyone who sent me emails- thank you and I am sorry I didn’t get the time to reply back. I promise I will. I’ve had a crazy week! I am sure you understand.

The final days till baby pops out...

Quote: O Baby, Where Art Thou?
More excitement, more anxiety, and more apprehension. That’s what I am going through emotionally. It’s not like I am having mood swings but I am just depressed at times, cry for no reason at other times and I can’t find a way to find a smile. I’m not sure if this is normal.
I am very worried. I am scared. The due date is coming closer and I just don’t think I can handle it. I feel alone- although I am surrounded by family and friends. I am sad for no apparent reason! I am not getting enough sleep. I keep vomiting every time I eat something and I know I should hold myself together. Everyone says I shouldn’t be like this. That it won’t be as hard as I imagine or as painful. I am not sure I am ready for labour. I am not even sure if I am ready to be a mom! I love this baby so much but what if I am clueless? What if something goes wrong and I am not ready for it?
I am driving my doctor crazy with all type of silly questions, like- are you sure he’s ok? Are you sure he’s completely developed? And she answers yes after all visit and yet I keep asking her again. She says it won’t take long till labour cuz I am having all the symptoms. She says it’s very soon- but what is very soon? When? Well she can’t tell. I will have to keep walking to facilitate it.
I am restless..
I am trying to keep myself busy with packing and unpacking and repacking the stuff for the hospital which seems to help a bit. Reading Quran also has been a real relief.
The list of things I need for the hospital:
For Labour:
• Quran
• My ipod with Surat Mariam and Surat Al Zalzala
• My book of prayers for all of you
• Massage oil for back pain
• The camera + video recorder
• Cashmere shawl in case it gets cold
The baby’s bag is ready and so is mine. The room should be ready too for the after delivery. My mom and aunts are taking care of that.
For guests:
• Chocolate trays
• Gifts for visitors
• Buffet
• Cutlery
I’ve received beautiful e-flowers from some and I already printed them out and I am keeping them next to me in the room. Thank you Amaamy and Al.
I will pray for all of you. I already have every single name in my prayer book. Inshalla all your dreams will come true and you will all find happiness and prosperity in life.
Can you believe I am feeling better? I am telling you these hormones are weird. Just when I started writing this entry I wasn’t so well but now I am actually smiling at my screen. =)
It’s just the thought that I’ve got all of you makes me happy. Isn’t that just weird! I should’ve updated earlier if this was to happen. Wouldn’ve saved myself a lot of the un-needed drama…
Thank you guys for everything.. your prayers.. your thoughts.. and for being all so sweet… I will keep you updated with everything that takes place in the next couple of days…
Meanwhile check this great entry from Garmoosha.

Quran, Book of Prayers, and E-Flowers =)

Continuous Disappointments..
17 Jul, 2005 | 5:23 pm | Filed under: Life
Quote: We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.
What does it take to make your jaw drop? What does it take to put you in a state of shock? Have disappointed about something or someone?
It takes a lot for me but nowadays it just feels that there are many things that are taking place and they just make me go hmmm…
My energy level has been fluctuating in the past couple of days. Sometimes I am just so stressed out and sometimes I just feel like I got a big dosage of caffeine in my blood. So it was the latter when I decided to go to the office to settle some unfinished business. So I did finish the work and was still feeling ok so I thought why not socialize- and pay some colleagues a visit?
I went to a department in the company where I rarely see it’s employees in an attempt to say hello.
In an office in that department, 4 girls share the office space so I sat there with 3 of them who were available then. I am not sure what we were talking about but it was something to do with parties and stuff. The fourth girl comes in- I’ll call her Nora and out of no where with a shock on her face says “uaeyah do you go to parties?”- I thought the question was kinda silly so I said “why is there a law against pregnant women having fun?” she answers “Oh well I am shocked!”- I said “why it’s normal.. I can still move you know- I am not crippled!” and then the question that shocked me was “how much do you get paid per hour?”- ok I can’t explain what went through my mind- I was still processing it when my brain went on overload.
When I was talking about parties I was thinking of our parties as the girl’s gatherings. I never in my wildest dreams thought of what Nora was thinking!
Didi was there and trying to get more info from Nora said “we wont say till you tell us how much you are paid per hour”. Let me tell you something about Didi- she’s the type that loves gossip- loves embarrassing people and hates hypocrites. It’s like her mission in life is to eliminate them.
I was still quiet trying to figure out what happened.
So Nora answers quite boldly “Oh well for a 3 hour dance it’s AED 2K. for …. It’s AED 7K.. and for an overnighter it’s AED 10K”
Didi says “Ah that cheap! I don’t believe you and Maha receive that little!”
Didi just threw Maha’s name in to check if she was involved with Nora in any way- and Nora fell for it and confirmed Maha involvement.
Let me stop the story here.. it’s making me sick..
I can’t count the number of times that I’ve been disappointed in people! Like really. I am so sick of it. I actually thought they were good girls. I know for a fact they’re not in need of extra cash but they’re just doing it cuz they’re empty inside. They aren’t ugly, on the contrary they’re both very pretty. I just can’t explain..
Why did she think Didi and I were involved in such activities? Like Hello! not the whole of AD is corrupted! and When was it okay to talk about such things in public? when did it become ok to assume that everyone around you was like you! when did it become ok for us to strip ourselves of all decency, morality and our own dignity?
Do you know how weird it is seeing such acts take place in our country? Where are the parents? The brothers? And why would you deteriorate yourself to that very low level?
I was in such a shock and in an attempt to make me feel better Didi said “it’s not all bad you know!- they’re still good people out there but you need to stop having high expectations of everyone around you”.
All I can say is Allah yehadeehom.. O Inshalla they'll understand that life is much more than just having fun. We will be questioned tomorrow for our actions and life is short. We should make use of the time in hand. Allah yehadeehom ya rab.
anyways..
I've got a doc's appointment tomorrow in the afternoon. We're going to decide when to schedule the delivery for the baby. My aunts say that I should wait till the baby decides to pop out but the doc is worried cuz of the previous history I had with this pregnancy. She says she wants to induce me cuz he still didn't engage in prepartion for delivery. I really do want to listen to the doc but I think I want to wait till he's ready. I will keep you updated.I am spending my afternoons watching Homer build this super Enzo Ferrari Racer car. It's a lego =). On the lego box it says 10+ years. Don't you just enjoy doing things that remind you of the good old days? Ooh well, silly as it may seem but still so much fun picking up the pieces and putting them in place.

Film Ratings
13 Jul, 2005 | 9:32 am | Filed under: Daily Jewels
Quote: The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children.
I went to the movies with a friend and her 10 year old daughter. My understanding was that we were going to drop off her daughter at the games with the maid and go watch a movie and pick them up once we were done. When we met up, there was no sight of the maid anywhere, so I thought we’d cancel the movies and go to the kids play and chit chat while her daughter is playing. My friend was walking towards the movies counter and asked me about what I thought we should watch. I told her there isn’t anything appropriate for a 10 year old. she smiled and said “so?”.
Okay something to learn about me- I get really angry at ignorant parents! I said “what do you mean so?- there isn’t anything appropriate for her to watch. I am not taking her in”. There wasn’t a movie with a G or even a PG rating. They were all 18+.
Trying to defend her case she said “its okay, I took her to watch The Grudge, Saw and Constantine. She’s used to it” of course it didn’t end there- we had a long conversation which ended up in her saying “you don’t have kids of your own, don’t teach me how to bring up mine. When it’s your turn you’ll understand. Kids today know more than they’re supposed to anyways.”
I understand that criticizing someone about anything is always a sensitive thing. My intensions were good but I guess she misunderstood where I was coming from. I found her excuse ridiculous to be quite honest. The ratings are there for a reason and one reason only. Movies parental guidance are in place for us to understand the type of movie we will be watching in advance.
I don’t have kids of my own but there are things that I consider common sense. I have little brothers and there is no way on earth I would allow them to watch a movie unless they fall within the age range- sometimes I am even more strict. Often times I would watch the movie alone to make sure that it doesn’t contain any thoughts that are against our beliefs or images that could scar them at a very young age. Am I being overprotective? Probably but that’s for their own good. Until I can see that they can understand things on their own and make the difference between right and wrong.
But would I take my 10 year old to a horror movie? No way! I mean I personally haven’t watched a horror movie during the whole pregnancy- cuz I had these crazy ideas that whatever I watch might affect my pregnancy. I know- superstitious. That’s just me.
I blame my friend, the movie theatre and the ministry of media.
My friend for being selfish and ignorant to the fact that movies do affect the child’s thinking. If you didn’t have anyone to take care of your kid while you wanted to watch a movie then just cancel the movie.
Movie theatres for not applying the rules. For allowing kids into movies they’re not supposed to just to make extra cash. The only time I really saw them take action was The Passion of the Christ- when they asked everyone for ID. That was it.
The ministry of Media for not spreading awareness regarding this issue and for creating penalties for theatres that don’t follow the rules of ratings.
Until they all work on their own thing it’s our job to protect our little ones. Yes me and you who are reading this. It’s not about being over protective but it’s about caring. Those little ones are our future and it’s up to you how you shape them up.

Un-Veiled
Oh My God! I was sitting somewhere in AD doing something and this beautiful person which I know walks in with a shock on her face. Says hello- sits and gets something done. Little smiles here and there.She turns and says “are you uaeyah?” – at the moment there were a zillion thoughts that came to mind and every thought was interrupted by a O_o” and huh!
Unexpected, and unplanned- destiny puts me in a place with a person who has been in my thoughts for awhile. I never ever thought she’d actually be this mysterious person. I wouldn’t have guessed in a million years! Out of everyone I know- this is a total shocker.
Veiled- it was great seeing you, although again I looked really tired and horrible. I was in this totally dysfunctional mood cuz of the heat but you certainly made me feel better with the sweetest smile and the most beautiful laugh. You are such a sweetheart- and I am so glad it was you after all. I swear I can’t stop smiling. What a small world we live in.
I hope you have a safe smooth flight. I am going to miss seeing you when the baby arrives. I totally wanted you to be around. Yalla inshalla when you’re back.

I took my fisheye lens out for a drive.. here are some of the shots..

Loss
10 Jul, 2005 | 8:58 am | Filed under: Life
Quote: This entry is dedicated to SadnesS
There is nothing harder than the loss of a loved one. It’s a part of life- loss that is. It’s painful and very sad. You will miss the person’s presence especially if they had been involved closely with you life in any aspect. It’s a heavy burden that we have to accept eventually.
The first dear person I ever lost was my uncle Saeed. I was 12 then- and he meant the world to me. He had a heart attack just after having lunch. We used to live in the same Compound Villa. I remember my cousin Heaven running into our house asking for my Dad’s help. They just didn’t know what to do. He was transferred to the hospital but word came in later that his good soul left us.
I remember feeling numb for hours trying to understand what had just taken place. I remember thinking that this was all a bad dream and that he’ll come back and life will be normal again. It was a hard time for everyone in the family. He was a great person and everyone loved him. My aunt said that his soul will always float around us and he’ll be watching over us.
There was a point in time where depression took over my life. I was too young to actually realize it then but I remember how I felt life has ended. That things were just not fair. Why him? Why now?- all these questions ran into my mind. I realize that it’s infidel but you can imagine what I was going through.
I don’t think I would’ve gotten through it without the emotional support from my family and friends. They brought me solace and comfort.
Grief is a normal process that we have to go through to regain our lives back. If you lost someone dear allow yourself to mourn. It’s only natural. It supports the healing process.
Another method I used was to write. I wrote my feelings down in a diary and it truly was a miracle. The more I wrote the better I felt.
If you are not into writing then talk about it. Create something that keeps you busy away from thinking. Always remember the good times you shared with the person. Just the good thoughts. If you had bad experiences then just let them be.
Pray for them. Prayers work wonders.
To SadnesS I am very sorry for the loss of your cousins. Hang in there. Inshalla things will get better. 3a'6am Allah ajerech- o 9abarch o halch 3ala mo9aabkom. o '3amad Arwa7hom el Janna. Ina Leelah O ina Elayhe Raje3oon.
so what else is happening?
I went to watch Madagascar with my neice- and it's just amaaaaaaazing! although I was being kicked by kids sitting behind me- which in normal circumstances will totally piss me off- but it was just fun hearing all the kids make all these silly comments and shout and scream. Plus I totally went off singing with Ali G when he started the "I like to move it move it" song. =)
Totally recommended. Thumbs up. Will set you for a laughter ride that you won't regret.
I just got this super Fisheye lens and I've been going crazy with it. It's just so fun! check the pics.

7-7 is the new 9-11
08 Jul, 2005 | 9:36 am | Filed under: Daily Jewels
Quote: Islam isn’t Evil!
Following the events that took place in London, I can’t help but cry. I mean why!? I don’t understand what point is being made by killing civilians who have nothing to do with the foreign affair of it’s own country. They’re Innocent! Is their only guilt being around that area when the bombings took place?
An atmosphere of panic grows inside me. Just when we thought things would get better they get worse! And the fact that they use Islam for an excuse! Please spare me that excuse. Islam isn’t criminal. It isn’t evil and it isn’t about terrorism.
Can’t you see what’s happening?- we are back to the point where we are explaining the roots of Islam and defending it again against the acts of terrorism that take place in its name.
Terrorism is one of the gravest menaces facing our world. Are the killing of people the only way to solve problems of the world? Is violence the only solution? How can they just act in the name of Islam when Islam is against the killing of the innocent?
Terrorists are playing the world like a chess game.. all these innocent people are pawns! You can afford to get rid of them for a bigger piece of the game!
We are still suffering of post 9/11 event till today. Our lives haven’t been normal ever since. Our scholarships were stopped, everyone came back to the country without their degrees and most of who I know haven’t been the same. I remember visiting the US in the summer of 2002 and believe you me, the treatment I got in the airports was just terrible- just because I wore a hejab and my passport said United Arab Emirates. Should I be condemned on the acts of others? Just cuz I choose to wear my hejab and my passport carries the word Arab?
Now this takes place in London. A destination for all our families in the summer! London has always been an extension of our countries. A place we all visit- Edgware Road is an Arabic Road. A place where you know you will run into someone you know from back home. The third blast took place there.
I can’t bare the thought of anyone close to me being hurt. It was terrifying. I started calling up everyone I knew in London but the networks were impossible to get hold of. Nothing can explain the fear I held inside. Bliss is fine thank God- I can’t even imagine how I would have felt if anything went wrong. Even people I didn’t know personally. Like Marwan and Garmoosha and of course my Amaamy. I mean I later found out that Marwan came back and I know Garmoosha is in Manchester but what if she was on a visit to London- what if she was on one of these trains!? Amaamy left London a couple of days back. Thank Allah for keeping them safe.
Imagine if all this took place close home. The thought is just disturbing. I feel for those who lost their loved ones. It’s very hard. You think you’ll be having a normal day- just another day when you are startled with such an event.
Another day will be marked in bold. 7th- July will be another day for us to remind ourselves of how ignorant some people can get- how their ignorance can affect so many in the world.
I pray to God that those who caused this will see the light. To understand that killing and violence isn’t the solution to the problems of the world. This will not ensure World Peace.
My heartfelt sympathies and prayers to those who were directly involved.
I am deeply disturbed. I am watching the BBC- God it's really bad. I can't type anymore.

i've been tagged!
07 Jul, 2005 | 10:12 pm | Filed under: Daily Jewels
Quote: The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them
The latest trend with blogs right is tagging. Most of the blogs I've been reading had something to do with something called "tagging". To me tagging meant categorizing or using keywords- but to so many others is answering a set of Q's.
So anyways.. I've been tagged by sweet al.. when I read the post on her blog- I was expecting an email of some sort with the questions in the body of the msg. Ooh well I've been waiting for a whole day now! so I guess it means I won't be receiving it any time soon. I might as well just answer the questions..
Number of books I read:
Remember when I said I was a book worm? I don't keep track of the number of books I've read.. I probably lost track when I was 6 =)
Last book I read:
Jennifer Government by Max Barry
Book that means a lot to me:
The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien- when I was 12 my eldest brother gave it to me and said I will be able to read it and finish it when I am mature. It took me awhile cuz I didn't really relate to the book plus I wanted to prove to him that I am mature.. so i completed reading it by the time I was 14. That is when I knew I can do whatever I wanted if I really set my heart to it. By the way the book was over a 1000 pages.
The book I am reading since long but could not finish:
Hmm.. I think it was a book about politics in the gulf during the Iraqi invasion on Kuwait in '91
I am currently reading:
How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci by Michael J. Gelb
Here I've answered the Q's.. =) and I am tagging everyone who's reading this..
So what have I been up to...
I am preparing for my maternity leave right now.. It meant that I had to clean up my office and clear all the clutter that was accumulated on my desk. I’ve been working for 5 and a half years now and I’ve spent the past 4 hours just going through papers and documents that were that old. I never threw away anything thinking that I might someday need it. Most of the documents that I had hard copies of are automated so shredding them was an easy decision now. I enjoyed reading some articles and going through so many things. It was me reminiscing with my office. I just remembered all the things I’ve been through. I was a teenager when I first joined and I’ve grown up so much since then. I can’t wait to see my peers reactions on Saturday on how tidy my place looks now. They’ve literally begged me to clean it up but I always said no. I mean I know it was messy but I always managed to find what I was looking for. I knew that a document was hidden under this pile of paper.
I also managed to get my ring fixed. A diamond fell off but now it’s fixed and it’s shiny as new! I am so swollen cuz of water retention that I can’t believe the ring still fits.. =)
Peachy and Candy: Please feel free to turn my comments sack to a chat box :@- lol.. no seriously.. make yourselves comfortable.. *hugs and kisses*

Happy Birthday Sweets.. May all your dreams come true

Friendships.. online..
04 Jul, 2005 | 10:18 pm | Filed under: Life
Quote: Friendship is the highest degree of perfection in society.
Following my daily rituals includes going through my fave websites/blogs and leaving my annoying long comments. Well part of it is cuz I can.. =) I’ve realized something- there is this interconnectivity between all of us. I mean I see us all leaving comments here and there and that’s a beautiful thing. We’ve somehow created this lil community and we’re all related. I see nicknames appearing over blogs and this made me think of all the friendships that I’ve made over the internet.
I won’t be overstating it if I said that I’ve made better friendships online than I have offline. Pathetic? Actually not. Online you get to know the person for who they are like really who they are.. you are the past the fact of appearances, status, family or anything else. You just know them as their nicknames and maybe later on it will develop to be an offline friendship.
I’ve always been surrounded by those extra special people in my life I call friends. When I was younger I had so many of them but with time you learn how to sort your friends into certain categories like acquaintances, colleagues, friends, best friends, close friends and more. I’ve always been a social and an extroverted person who always wanted to be around people. People I knew were there for me when the bad got worst. With time as I said I learnt how filter and I ended with only a handful of people. I’ve become very picky and cautious. You can never be too careful. That doesn’t mean I don’t’ talk to people- I do but I am just more aware.
I might not be a person who calls my friends on a daily basis; maybe is just the fact my life style has changed now that I’ve got more responsibilities but I always try my best to keep in touch through sms. I mean that’s the least I can do really. I might over do it sometimes cuz I start sending them so early in the morning like 6 am but Peachy & Candy I know you are awake and I know you don’t mind! =)
My problem is that I always expect my friends to meet certain standards and I’ve got all these expectations. I know it might not be right cuz no one is perfect but you can always expect the best. There is no harm in that. It’s important that you maintain that standard but keep in mind that you shouldn’t judge your friends rather try to understand where they’re coming from.
Friendship is not a word that we just say its more of something you believe deep inside. Don’t you rather have a few real friends than so many superficial ones? Time is the best test. If you can survive it then you know you have a real friendship. Although sometimes you don’t spend much time with your friends for a reason or the other, you should know deep inside that no matter how long you guys stay apart they’ll always lend you a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on.
How to make friends?
Let’s think about it for a minute here… if you really were seeking someone’s friendship why don’t you just tell them so? Just invite them out for a drink or something.. you’ll be surprised how many people would actually want to be your friend.. =)
Let’s start doing that today.. make more friends.. real ones..
I’ve been craving sweet stuff in the past week. It’s ridiculous how I really wanted sugar! I woke up in the morning with this big black box tied up neatly all the way from London. Homer just left it next to me and I had this big smile on my face. It is a box filled with all types of chocolate! Aaaah what a sight.. The Hermes of Chocolate- Pierre Marcolini
Thank you Bliss.. you are a sweetheart.. your nephew is forever grateful.. ;) and his mommy too..
To Kitten: Thank you so much for the Snickers Cheese Cake! A beautiful surprise finding it on my desk after all these long meetings I was having during the day. It was just delicious! Unbelievably mouthwatering I am not a big fan of Snickers but this was just a delight. I ate it before I could actually take a pic!
Totally recommended. The Recipe.



Thank you note i sent Bliss

Jealousy is a Disease
02 Jul, 2005 | 2:04 pm | Filed under: Inspirational
Quote: To cure jealousy is to see it for what it is, a dissatisfaction with self.
I’ve always been happy with Citi Bank’s services except for this time! I’ve received emails from my host stating that my credit card billing has been rejected. Since I did a lot of shopping in the past month I thought I maxed it or something. Apparently not! Citi Bank changed my card number for security reasons without consulting me first- plus they didn’t send me the new card yet! So I tried solving the problem with Citi Bank and they said they’d send the new card on Monday! Which meant my site was going to be down till Monday the 4th! Thank God the web host was such a sweetheart on this matter that they were cooperative and allowed the site back till I got the new card. I’ve been a customer for more than 2 years =) and never missed a payment!-so that helped a lot
I came across a person I was trying to forget it- and I honestly thought that I did till I saw her again and my heart started pumping so hard! She was a friend once till I was stabbed really bad in the back. Allow me to elaborate.
I started working 5 years ago and I was the only Emirati girl then. She joined 2 years later as a telephone operator. Since we were the only Emirati girls there I connected with her. We used to have lunches together and we used to meet up occasionally after work.
She was moved to another department and another person took over answering the telephone. I started getting all these weird calls from guys on my extension. Guys who sounded like total jerks- idiots and everything but decent. The thing is they asked for me by name- and I was the only person with that name in the organization so that was definently for me.
After getting sick of answering all these maniacs, I get a call one day from a guy called Hamad saying listen dear sister, I am calling to tell you that this girl (my so called friend) is using your name and making phone calls from the office and acting like you. I discovered that it wasn’t really but her. I just thought you should know.
I was in shock. In total denial. I didn’t want to believe it- so I chose not to. She was my friend after all. Call me naïve. I guess I was.
A colleague working with walked in my office with such a serious face and said: “I need to ask you a Q. Answer me honestly. I won’t judge. Are you talking to my brother?” my reaction was to cry on the spot. I felt abused- like I got slapped in the face. I was humiliated. I didn’t believe he’d actually believe I was capable of such a thing! When he saw my reaction he apologized and said he didn’t believe it but he needed to hear it from me. I told him about the phone calls and about the guy.
I was drifting away from the girl. I started seeing things I haven’t seen before. I started noticing every single thing. And I was getting sadder by the day.
He came back to me a few days later with a recorded phone call. They recorded it on Nokia the communicator at that time. I heard the recording and that is when it all started sinking in.
I confronted her and much to my surprise her reaction was very calm. She didn’t try to defend herself. All she said was “where is your proof?” I made her hear the recording and she just fell apart. She started begging not to tell management about it. I told her I wasn’t going to. I was just so hurt that she did it to me.
A few days later she gets transferred to another company. My colleague reported her. It’s been 3 years since I last saw her. I remember asking her once WHY? WHY? She never answered. My other friends said it was jealousy. But why be jealous if we were friends.
Jealousy is a disease that I hope everyone strips themselves of. You can always wish the good for others and the same for yourself. The other person doesn’t have to have it gone for you to enjoy. Try to excel in whatever you do- and remember you did your best instead of beating yourself up by thinking why it happened to others and not to you.
It doesn’t matter what you are jealous of whether it’s power, money, love, fame- they are all finite. Think spiritual instead of material.
There are so many reasons people get jealous but we should all try to rise above all this. Jealousy can cause a lot of unhappiness and distress. You will just be miserable.
If you feel that you are a victim of a sick jealous person then please take precaution. Pray that they get better and pray that you are protected from their evil.
On a much brighter side:
