How To Win Back The Affection Of My Owner...

About six months ago, my owner got a new addition to the family and while she is absolutely adorable and has even come to think of me as a bit of a role model you might say, I am starting to catch myself becoming increasingly more and more jealous of her. What frightens about this more than anything, is that down the road, this may even lead to me resenting her, which is the last thing I ever want happening.
Not everyday is like this though, just "those" days, I'm sure you know the ones I'm talking about. Those days where you feel a pang of nostalgia as you watch your new sis make a mess in the living room because she forgot to clean up after romping about in the garden. Our owner thinks it's so cute how she made a little mess and will laugh it off, he used to be the same way with me too. But... I'm older now and know better I guess, if I were to ever get dirt in the living room, I would be getting the cold shoulder for the rest of the night.
Maybe I'm just venting, maybe I should know better, I just don't know. Has anyone else her dealt with being jealous and found ways of coping/overcoming it?

Jealousy and Resentment are not to be overcome, eliminated or destroyed.
They stem from thoughts about one misunderstanding in the our cultural way of thinking, interacting with our environment, namely with the new development in your home. These beliefs are deeply embedded in our subconcious.
This mis-understanding comes to us in how we know ourselves.
It is generally accepted in our world that what you have, reflects who you are.
Example: I HAVE alot of Money. Therefore, I AM(is).... what? RICH Biotch!!
Your sister, seems to HAVE the attention of your OWNER, so you ENVY her.
However, in a relationship, you only give attention to the attributes that a person has. As in, your sister has a childrens body and this is something the owner likes and so gives attention to it. Put it straight - if this person you are jealous began to GET and then HAVE, attributes that smelt like stinky cheese and socks, then your owner would give attention to you.
When you are jealous, notice that you are not jealous at anyone person, but rather what that person has.
peace and ease you and take a second look, when those feelings come up, from experience, they will without warning and choice, but the second look can be chosen.
-------------------- The mind is a creative tool. It searches to protect you, through message sensations(feelings). It is no different than a computer, you need to make sure its anti-virus program is in check and that it doesnt have a script that limits your experience, because of to much precaution. And remember the computer does not appear to respond to words of anger and frustration - just give it input, in the form of new meanings that you know to be true and its messages to you and the limits it lays out for you, will change. Guilt is an outcome of believing you are the cause of the problems. Yet, we are not a cause to something, we see is negative or bad - Unless you believe your intentions are directed towards a bad outcome....

While you are right that envy and jealousy are often confused, I think that this article does an excellent job of explaining that jealousy is actually an onion of many layers of various feelings, at the core of which is an inherent emptiness that we must accept if we truly want to be free of the restraints of jealousy and envy.

Fabulous.

All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

How does he type
-------------------- Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. ~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"

I had a feeling you were jealous of me the moment I came home for the first time. I saw the look in your eyes. You better get used to being second best now toots, because I'm here to stay.
And just for this thread I'm going to shit in the living room and blame it on you. Your days are numbered.
Yours truly, Thumper.
