If you had to pick, because I know what I thought, but then I went and reversed it. Spoiler alert. If you had to choose one, would you rather be envious or jealous? And why? Really putting you on the spot.
Until your neighbor gets that convertible.

Right, you're filling a void, and you're filling it with something dark, because that's, yeah, well, we're also anxious people. Yeah, I don't love that.

Yeah, that's what we talked about an episode or two ago. Ideally, if you're going to make something up, make it happy.

Right, the convertible crashes, but then she flies out right into your arms. Into my arms, right. That's not a good way to do it. And I'm riding a unicorn at the time. Sure. Would you like to know me? Of course. I thought it would be better. I would rather feel jealousy after knowing the difference between these two because I have the thing that I want.

Like, it starts with jealousy is you have something and you're afraid it's going to be taken away. And so I was like, oh, but in that case, sure, I'm a little anxious about it, but I have the thing. Like, it's better to have and lose than never had at all or whatever I read at HomeGoods.

Maybe. Just make you a real Scrooge McTom. Well, I love diving into my coin room. So that's why I thought I would rather feel jealousy. But jealousy involves feeling, like you said, unsafe or bad about other people. And that's something I strive not to do, just like you just said. And I switched to envy because envy, even though it's a gross internal feeling, it can also be a motivator.

When used correctly, I want that thing. Because there's two types of envy. Can I break it down for you real quick? I hope you do. There's malicious envy and non-malicious envy. Do you want to guess what those are or should I just blaze right through? You can probably figure it out. Yeah. Malicious envy involves hostility or resentment toward another person who has it better than you.

You it's almost like you want to take away what they have or you want to undermine their success or happiness. You wish them the worst because you don't have it. Non malicious envy focuses more on the objects and wondering how did they get it? And can I do the same thing? You don't actually want their thing. That's where covet is.

You don't necessarily want their thing, but you want your own version of it. That's non-malicious envy. And that can be a really good motivator for things. It's how it's like what vision boards are. Vision boards are in a way non malicious envy is you put up all of these pictures from magazines of things that you want. And you're like, how am I going to do those?

I don't think you should shoot a wish laser out into the universe. For those of you that are still but just found the secret. I think instead you should like take night classes, whatever you need to do on the ground. We've all heard the phrase, pride goes before the fall.
