Jealousy by Luke Saagi
  • Reading time:1 mins read
  • Post category:Feelings and Emotions / Mental health / Positive change
  • Post published:August 10, 2016

You can either make a list of what you have, or you can make a list of what you do not have. The first list will bring you peace and happiness, while the second list will bring you only sadness. Being sad and focusing on what we do not have does not change the circumstances.
