Spend Time With People You Envy
Since most individuals like to avoid suffering, most of us avoid being around those we are envious of because envy is an unpleasant feeling. However, we ought to go in the other direction.
We should make an effort to interact with folks we envy. Why?
1. They provide lessons for us.
Getting to know someone well is the key to learning from them. Analyze their actions. Examine what is and is not working.
You may achieve the same level of success as them—or even greater—if you take what you can from what they are doing and apply it to your own life.
2. We can love them.
Learn to love the person you are envious of if you don’t want to experience the discomfort of envy. You don’t envy someone as much the more you adore them.
No matter how hard we try, all envy contains a trace amount of jealousy.
In other words, a part of you dislikes the person you are envious of. The discomfort stems from this. It never feels good to have bad feelings for someone else.
However, there is no longer any room for even a tiny bit of dislike when you love someone.
Envy Can Be Good For You
But only if you apply it, take something away from it, and let it go. Utilizing it intelligently is the key.
Envy is comparable to the opium poplar. It will harm you if you engage in it for enjoyment or as an act of resistance. However, if you use it sparingly and only in certain circumstances, it may be beneficial (just as opium can be used to relieve legitimate and excessive pain).
You may define your path and inspire yourself to keep working, accomplishing, and succeeding if you utilize envy appropriately. Then, when envy is no longer beneficial, replace it with love.
