Envy Is Jealousy In Disguise - Treat It With Care And Respect

Is envy such a bad thing?

That would depend.

If you are just jealous of another's possessions or position or something else how can that really be productive?

If we admire another for what they have but are happy with own

If we see that another person has worked really hard and succeeded this may just be the spur we need to act ourselves in our own direction, in our own way.

But just to covet what another has. That is a path we would do well to avoid or at least get off asap.

• be happy with own life
• see that we are making our own mark
• we have found our own niche
• we are making the contribution that only we can
• we are comfortable in our own skin

sure, we can do more, be more, succeed more, but if we realize we are on that path, on that road ... And making inroads then we can feel confident. We are motivated. Our esteem is good, our image is improving.

We respect and accept ourselves.

Life is good and getting better. What more could we ask for?
