If someone loves you, they should not be envious of you pouring your heart and soul and time and energy into the things that you are passionate about, but instead....they should love you MORE because you are so involved in those things.

About This Quote

If someone loves you, they should not be envious of you pouring your heart and soul and time and energy into the things that you are passionate about, but instead....they should love you MORE because you are so involved in those things. The thing is, when it comes to our passions, we often find ourselves in competition with other people. We try to prove ourselves superior to others in the very things they love the most. When we feel that we are committed to something, then jealousy creeps in.

This is especially true with our work. We feel that others aren’t doing their jobs correctly and we wonder why they get paid more than us even though we do the same job. If someone loves you, then they shouldn’t be envious of what you are passionate about; instead they should celebrate what you are passionate about.
