I'm Not JLaw, and That's Okay (Don't Envy)

I may have mentioned Jennifer Lawrence in the past on my blog. One of my peers jokes that I’m obsessed with her. I’ve only seen two of her movies, but I’m in awe of her success. We’re the same age. Yet, she’s one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood!

I could wonder what she has that I don’t, but that’s a waste of time. Plus, I know better. I'm not her, and I couldn't be her if I tried. I don’t think it’s healthy to compare yourself to someone else, especially if you don’t know what that person did to get to that point. All you can do is work on yourself.


​What I try to do is admire others and think of things I can do to improve my work. For example, I admire author group Alexa Riley’s social media presence, and I try to emulate it. Looking at their page, helped me change mine. Also, I look at what my fellow authors have done, and use their examples. The point to leave with is find someone or something that inspires you and keep working toward your goals.

Feeling envy towards others is normal to us humans, in fact, it is part of what we are. I am not going to just sit here and talk about my feelings of envy, I want to let people learn more about how we deal with these feelings. People are often too hard on themselves, and that is not good. If we keep on comparing ourselves to others, then it is not going to be fun for us. I hope that we can be better and more contented with what we have.

I wholeheartedly agree. No space for envy!
