A meaningful thought

Envy is uncomfortable, but sometimes it is honest. It may not mean you are a bad person; it may reveal a desire inside you that has been neglected for too long. Instead of feeling ashamed, ask, “What exactly about this person’s life affects me so strongly?” Perhaps it is freedom, creativity, love, or the courage to begin something you keep postponing. Do not turn envy into bitterness toward someone else. Turn it into a direction and take one small step toward the life that keeps calling you.
