People envy each other. They feel as if others always have it much better. And they become so bitter about it. They keep on complaining about how it is so easy for others to achieve the same they would love to have, to be what they would like to become. But that’s all they do about it. And as time goes on they become more bitter and more bitter…
To me, if I see someone being something that I’m not but would love to be, it’s just a kick in the ass to start working my way out and find a way to achieve the same. If I don’t right now have all that I want, and if I truly want it, nothing stops me from learning how to make it happen. So seeing something I don’t have doesn’t trigger envy in me, instead, it triggers my mind to make the best strategy for achieving it.
Except for one thing.
If I’m truly honest with you, there are moments when I do feel envy.
The only moments I ever manage to feel envy is when I hear news about someone dying unexpectedly early and all the fuss around it. My heart is pulled out of my chest. Why wasn’t it me?
The only achievement I feel is out of my reach. I know the strategy but I can’t put it into action. As long as there’s someone I would break with it. Why the hell do I have to care?
And time goes on…
