If you’re telling your friend something that makes you happy and you get the feeling that they’re not happy for you and attempts to analyze or be critical, what do you do? Cut ties? Or realize that it could be from jealousy/insecurity and find some compassion somewhere deep inside?
I’m finding the compassion thing very hard because it feels like instead I am stuffing my own emotions inside.
But then, I ask myself “Why does this bother me; what is it touching…” It can really never end 
On to good news.. St Martin, Caribbeans in less than one month. A much needed vacation. Maybe we will find that little hammock above the sea?
And others news.. I am obsessed with Scrabble.

Whatever a persons reaction it’s never about you. Due to the perceptual nature of reality their reaction will (to a greater or lesser extent) reflect their own view, emotions or experience.
Someone who is more themselves and less attached to their own ‘story’ will likely genuinely rejoice and empathise with your good fortune. The zen tale about emptying the cup also applies to viewing others.
One day that other person might drop their burden but theres no need for you to help carry in the meantime
Just what I needed… thank you!!
No problem
It can also help to recognise from what energetic perspective the other person is coming from. I am currently finding this book very useful…

Thanks for the book recommendation; I’m going to put it on my list. Sounds like something I would like to read.. have you heard of or read The Healing Code? It’s a bit similar but I haven’t read it yet
Nope
Haven’t read that but will now check it out – Thanks!
