Jealousy

Have you ever seen someone driving a car you want, running a business you want, in a relationship you want, ***insert any reason in here*** and been jealous of them and wished you had that?

Of course you have, you’re human!

But, the reality is that comparing ourselves to others is usually a hiding to nothing. Everyone is in a better position than us in something, so if we always look for that we can make ourselves feel terrible.

The only real delta that matters is the gap between who you are and who you want to be.

So here’s what I do. If I see someone and feel like I want what they have, I ask myself, “Would I trade being me to be them?”

And if the answer is ‘no’, which it ALWAYS is, then I don’t envy that person, rather I see the thing I want and it inspires me to be more.
