Envy is an emotion that sometimes you feel without being aware of it, it affects our interpersonal relationships and can make it difficult to connect with others.
Admiring someone or wanting to succeed like him has nothing to do with envy.
- Envy wants what the other has.
- But that alone is not enough.
- The envious one wants to destroy the other person.
“Envy shows how unhappy men are. “
-Arthur Schopenhauer-
Have you ever felt pain or anger at something your friend has achieved and you have not?Then you know perfectly well the thrill of envy, but it ends today.
Envy is very destructive and we have to learn to leave it to feel good.
That’s a question we should all ask ourselves, why do we think those who have achieved what we want too are better than us?
We must believe that no one is equal to anyone and that this difference is what makes us unique, no one is better than you to achieve what you would really like to have.
Being sure of ourselves will help us achieve whatever we want. Your friend may have already achieved his goal, but your path may be very different from theirs.
Trust your skills and keep working to get everything you want, but be careful!Don’t chase other people’s goals just because you envy your accomplishments. Draw your own path.
“Is envy a declaration of inferiority?
-Marlene Dietrich-
You have your own resources and you can get anywhere you want. Learn to explore what sets you apart from others. You probably have skills that others don’t have, why envy others?You want to be like everyone else?
Worrying about other people’s lives, judging their attitudes, won’t help you achieve your goals. Concentrate and trust yourself, strive to make your dreams come true. You have many resources at your fingertips, use the strategy that works best for you.
He believes that no one deserves your attention as much as you do and that, in order to achieve everything you want, you must forget what the people around you do, focus on yourself and move on.
We are used to competition and this encourages the appearance of envy. The desire to do something before others forces us to look at people close to us and try to copy their strategy.
But that doesn’t guarantee success, will copying the other one make you happy?You’ll be lonely with your victory, because you’ve destroyed as many relationships as you could have. All this for the desire to be the best.
You are different and you know your limits, go beyond your possibilities without looking at the people around you.
So, the best attitude is to compete with ourselves, what would you be able to do to get the highest score?, do you want to step on someone?This isn’t a laudable attitude, is that what you really want?Will you be satisfied?
People have their dreams, but you have your own dreams. Think about what you really want and focus on yourself. Don’t get carried away with other people’s goals.
Doesn’t that mean you can’t “imitate” some attitudes of successful people?For example, if you want to reach a goal, instead of trying to destroy your strongest opponent, focus on what he’s doing and learn from him.
Thinking this way will help you find a simpler solution and rule out what won’t bring you any benefit. Turn envy into positive energy to improve you and be able to do whatever you want.
Admire, but don’t envy. Learn, but not destroy?
Use your resources, learn from your mistakes and advance on this path that will take you to your goals, follow in the footsteps of those who have already achieved what you want, but remember that your path will not be the same, because each person is different and unique.
