This world has more than its share of envy and jealousy. None of this serves anyone. So, resist those feelings as they simply position you with the masses.
Rather, be extraordinary. Find it in your heart to be truly happy for others.
If someone gets a raise or promotion, become giddy for them as if it were your own.
When they get that great house, the one even better than yours, smile for them as they no doubt earned it.
When they find true love, share in their joy and let it warm your soul too.
After all, envy and jealousy will rob you of vital energy. But sharing in the joy of others will serve to lift you and stoke your passion.
Remember, the good fortune of others doesn’t diminish your opportunity for it. Rather it provides a beacon of hope that goodness is out there for you too.
