How To Overcome Envy

What’s going on, Family?!

Have you ever wanted something that someone else has and felt torn up inside about it?

If so, then you’ve experienced feeling envious.

We can feel envious about almost anything. It can be anything from someone else’s appearance, how much money someone else makes, another person’s talents, or even harmonious relationships of people we know.

It’s normal to sometimes feel this way, but what does it mean? How can we not let it get to the best of us by ruining our lives?

The truth is, envy can negatively affect your life! I’ve seen people go into outbursts of anger and bouts of depression because envy hijacked their brain and behavior.

The good news though…There’s two sides to the coin of envy. You can tap into the energy that envy produces by letting it be a positive force in your life!

You see, I believe that envy acts as a signal of important information telling us about our desires and who we want to be. The feeling acts like a compass, and tells us that there’s an unfulfilled part of who we are.

You don’t just have feelings of envy for anyone or anything. You feel envy when it’s significant to you because you identify with what it is you feel envious about.

For example, I know a guitarist that felt envious of his friend’s musical abilities because that was important to his identity. Rather than let those feelings cause him to be bitter towards his musician friends, he practiced more and wrote a brilliant album. He used his feelings of envy to guide his behavior in a productive way to further actualize his true potential.

Makes sense? Good!
