Is there anyone you now envy and why?
Instead I feel grateful for what I have.
Jealousy and envy make you unhappy.
I do.....I envy the young.....not that I would want someone else's youth...but I would dearly love to be young and productive again.
My sister in law Coleen. She is 3 years younger and looks 15 years younger. She has adorable curly hair but more importantly she has grace. Natural grace, and compassion. I'm not awful, but I would love to be more like her.
You probably are and don't see it yourself.
I envy those who have more than enough money to live life effortlessly. Notice that I do not give you a name here for anyone that I envy in this way. To do that would then make it personal and I would have to start feeling all kinds of thoughts that are not desirable to have. I would become a bad person by having such personal envy. I do not want to take anyone's wealth away from them. I'm even happy for lottery winners but the thought does occur that it would be wonderful if it could be me. If that was ever to happen I would still want to remain unknown to the public.
I don't envy people because for me it's about the whole picture. I am honestly blessed with all a man could need and I try wherever possible to use that to help others.
I try very much not to be envious of people. It causes a feedback loop where it makes me feel bad about my own life which in turn makes me more envious of people, rinse, repeat, etc... I'd rather figure out my own than focus so detrimentally on another (wo)man's.
