Episode 3448: Keith Wilson delves into the often-misunderstood emotion of envy, distinguishing it from jealousy and explaining its roots in feelings of injustice and inequality. By understanding how envy distorts perceptions and fosters unhappiness, he offers a path toward overcoming it through self-awareness, gratitude, and a focus on personal growth rather than comparison. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/change-becomes-you/envy-51146f7bbbf0 Quotes to ponder: "Envy is when you don’t possess something and don’t want anyone else to have it, either." "Getting the car your neighbor has, having a baby, showing off an achievement, going on vacation, or making the best-seller list will not, repeat, NOT make you, me, or anyone happy for more than a day or two." "Blind yourself to the advantages of others. Focus on what you do have, the privileges you enjoy that others may wish they had."
