Envy
Where ever you go there you are. Envy and jealousy are you, or not. You have a lot of power over your own life, and it comes from a very simple realization. Want to change your life? Change your mind. The world is yours when you don’t see everything as a possession. The person you envy, you set apart from you. If you admire something, you admire it because it’s in you too. Next time you have a desire don’t judge it, and don’t envy someone else who pursues that same desire. Just accept you have it, and act on it or don’t.
“Envy shoots at others and wounds itself” English Proverb
“Keep yourselves far from envy; it eateth up and taketh away good actions, like as fire eateth up and burneth wood” Muhammad (Religious leader, prophet of Islam)
“Envy is an insult to oneself.” Yevgeny Yevtushenko (Russian Poet, b.1933)
