The pressure is on! Look she can do all that in one day! While I struggle to wake up and go to my full time job daily. Now, I am not good enough!! Social media allows people to say so much. I often hear "I hate my life!" Or " Great, now I am supposed to do more and work full time?!?!" because they look at how someone else lives, like life is so easy for everyone except them. Life is not easy for anyone, not even rich people. Everyone has problems. Its how you deal with those problems that makes the difference. You can sit on social media very spare second you can and gripe about life or you can cut it off and go to work for what you are wanting in life. Yes, its simple as that. Quit being jealous of what others have because they went through hell to get there, it was not given on a silver platter. Quit being jealous because one woman can work, take care of the home and have fun, you do not know what she gave up that you are not willing to give up to get to that point. So be you, go after your own and don`t try to keep up with someone else`s life. Oh! and do not teach your children to be lazy asses and to clean up after themselves, its not being mean its teaching them to be clean human beings.

There are envious people all over the place. I agree that instead of being envious, jealous, and bitter, they should get off their fat you know whats and work for what they want. Odd, but I never see that on Facebook. Thank goodness! Here, via friends.

Well its not directed at me but when I seem to post a saying thingy that fits me, I get to see their feed of cussing for not being enough etc. I never know they felt that way at all, well one told me so, enemies closer than friends, seems.

Oh yes social media has made it too easy for envy to occur. =( However I do NOT know how anyone would envy your life with how hard you work!

One of my favorite songs is a jingle.
Go on your own journey! This world has too many people living other people’s lives. Everyone is always trying to be someone else. Be what you want to be. Be ...

Been a long time I love the line, So be you, go after your own and don`t try to keep up with someone else`s life. Life is hard enough at times to try to keep up with others. Thankfully I have never been one to try to keep up to others. Most days I cant keep up to my own. LOL!

We are largely responsible for our own "destinies." Of course, having been taught good values growing up helps.

@andriaperry Having goals is good, I think. But they must be attainable goals. As I've mentioned before (somewhere), I cant stand that song, "I Believe I Can Fly." Tra la la, SPLAT!

Kids need to learn responsibility from a young age. I didn't really have a lot of chores; but I started working when I was 14 and earned my own money to do the things that I wanted to do.

You know what has happened to me? If I make $5.00 a month on myLot, I am as happy as can be. I simply like all of the friends & fellowship. Sure, I have work to do, but I always make time every day with my fellow myLotters.

People resent success when they cannot or will not take the effort to achieve it on their own. I think for some people it's simply easier for them to resent than to do anything to change their lives. Dennis Miller said once, "I don't mind helping the helpless. I mind helping the clueless. And nowadays there are many more clueless than helpless."

@andriaperry No. Not a thing at all. Every dollar I get I work hard for, even those dollars that come from investments. I always tell people if making money were easy, NO ONE would be looking for a way to do it. Everyone would already have plenty of it.

Since I was 12 if I wanted something I would earn the money to get it. I raised my kids to work for what they want. All of them have good jobs and work for what they want.

There are lots of negative people in our surroundings. It depends on us how to react to them. I am living my own life. Comparing oneself to others is a no go for me.

MrsJ is pretty lazy, but somehow she has convinced her children that if they want something they better be willing to work for it. Maybe they actually learned that from MrP instead. Me? I'm right where I want to be. For now anyhow.
