Envy Not

Envy not the person who has what you don’t have or who has gone where you haven’t gone…

Envy the person who thinks not of what they don’t have or where they haven’t gone…

…And instead focuses solely on what’s here, what’s now, and where they have arrived.

For joy and gratitude in the current step is an excellent strategy for evoking more of the same in the next step. And the step after that.

And so too for the person who steps with envy. It only evokes more of the same. No matter how much you acquire or how many places you’ve gone.
