You said it, and it’s so true. Envy is destructive and the energy spent being envious should be channeled into other things.

That is true. Honestly, I have been a slave of this feeling for quite sometime now. The worst part is that is steals my happiness. It make me feel empty. And worthless.

this quote is so true. I was shocked at the envy I encountered (which cost me several close friends) all because I am a doer not a watcher.

Uh oh. Those friends are not ‘real’ friends then. Admittedly, I have been a slave of this feeling then. I am a doer, but on my hindsight I am a watcher. I see my friends excelling, not that i don’t. But my envy is from the monetary value that we get from our job. I have been thinking, what HAVE i done wrong? Why they are blessed with better salary? But then… After last Sunday, I was awoken with the truth that I am in no competition with anyone but myself.

“I am in no competition with anyone but myself.” — that is the truth! But it’s hard to grasp that sometimes. I try not to envy folks because I don’t know the struggle or hard work it took to reach that salary, that position, that whatever. Nothing is achieved without effort.

That is so true, Mel. I think I have to hear that so now my envy-self is losing its power, little by little.

That’s what I tell myself when envy rears its ugly head and the reminder never fails to chase it away. There’s so much we don’t see when we envy. But if we stop to consider, everything changes.
