Learning to appreciate the talent in others is the way to value your own. The world is FULL of talent. Enjoy it!
Green is my favourite colour... I have stated it so many times... And certainly I try not to miss Thursday Green as an excuse to share some lush green hues.
They say The green is always greener on the other side but I don't agree... I feel it's very green on my side too, especially this time of the year... lush, tender... a promise of life, food for those animals that suffered the harshness of winter...
The grass is indeed very green now, on my side too.... I do believe that sometimes those feelings that has been related with green (jealousy) prevents us from appreciating it...
Your talent and its potential has nothing to do with the talent of others
Learn to appreciate the beauty of the talent in others... free of envy. Once you can do that, maybe you will appreciate better your own.
And be forgiving to all who envy you because they may still lack the self confidence to override that hurting emotion.
Yet again this is only my humble opinion... do you agree?
Green is my favourite colour indeed but I dislike it's associated with such energy vibration which I've managed to keep at bay. This is something you nurture, you make it grow... It's like a seedling... and what is the colour of new seedlings?

Unfairly related with jealousy
But today I'm taking the chance to "rant" a little.... why this expression?
Why is green related with jealousy and envy?
Besides the "grass is greener on the other side" we also use the idiom "To make someone green in envy" when you are unhappy or jealous when someone has something you want or succeed at something you're envious about. Green has been related with money and thus with greediness...
How ugly is that to relate with one of the most wonderful soul filling colours Nature can provide?
Even Shakespeare chose green to represent jealousy
Act 3 of Othello:
It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.
Let's get rid of the stigma of green

Green is the colour of life... of growth, of our love for live and Nature, of renewal.
It is a colour of prosperity and abundance.
It's also a colour that fosters creativity... Don't we say to give a "green light" when we approve a project?
Green is also the colour that it's associated to the Heart Chakra (Anahata) that links the body with the spiritual world. It balances our head and our emotions. Green its energy of love and transformation. The one that teaches us to be more empathetic, to learn to love and to share.
In Japan it represents "Eternal Life"
I love green... Green is the colour I want to be

One very dear friend in a journey (I call it journey) because it was also an spiritual one gave me a leaf heart. Each time that we met (a few times only due to long distance) he gave me one, handpicked by him. I have the first of those hearts framed since 2008, evergreen on a frame... That Green Man* reinforced in me the power of this colour...
We know it...
Nature heals
Even in winter green remains in holy and moss... Green ENDURES
But It ain´t easy being green...
I'm sharing here an excerpt of the lyrics of one of my favourite songs ever "It ain´t easy being green", sung by the very wise Kermit The Frog from The Muppets
But green’s the colour of Spring
Green can be cool and friendly-like
Green could be big like a mountain, important like a river, or tall like a tree
Well, green is all that I can be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder?
I’m green
It’s beautiful!
I think it’s what I want to be

envy is a partition of lust for greatness, but the grass is always greener where you properly water it.

I love green so It makes me sad it's associated to such bad emotions too, totally unfair, whenever I am in the green I feel renewed, healed... green GIVES life... after a harsh winter... what is more selfless than that?

Couldn’t read the article properly through the steepshot app because there was weird coding language intermingled with the words so I didn’t see anything about the chakras in there, but I tried to read the article.
Yes. What could be better than green? It’s the colour of life itself.

Green is my favorite color too! I have always appreciated how many different shades of green wonderful Mother Nature provides for us to marvel at. I love the dress in the photos by the way. Wonderful post with so many thoughts on what green represents for us in life. :)

Ohhhh I didn't realize it was a tunic, my apologies. It's still gorgeous hehe. I need to wear more green, I wear a lot of black for some reason. Rituals are good for the soul! Green is a selfless color, I love that. I can see that. Good one!

Yidneth! I looked it up. I was curious too.
(Please ignore I'm just now getting to this post....)
So... back in the day (way back) green and pale were basically interchangeable as a way to describe sickness. Cause, well, that's what folks looked like when they were under the weather! 😆
No mystery there (except for the word swap)...
But how'd jealousy and envy join the game???
Somewhere along the line, the Greeks decided that when one was jealous or envious their bodies would produce more bile resulting in a green appearance of the skin and often the eyes.
So... like... it was a real thing. But was it bile?
After further investigation, it seems more likely that a jealous lover would turn green because of lack of oxygen (cause you start to get short of breath) , which makes your blood vessels turn more blue... mix that with the light yellowy skin tones of your face--- BOOM! Green!
I think it's neat there was a little bit of fact in their fiction. 😎

Haha thanks Carrie, I wish I could edit now lol. still I adore green and I am so sad it associates with such things. I honestly think sick people look yellowish not green.
So I am green not with envy loool
