It can be hard not to feel envious at times when someone we know has achieved success. 

If the person at the next desk makes a great sale.

If someone publishes their first book and has record sales.

Someone else’s post goes viral.

Yes, it can be hard to not be envious.

The truth is, envy is a waste of time.  It burns your own energy and becomes one more road block on the way to your own success. 

Instead, consider the achievements and success of others as examples of what is possible. 

Possibilities are endless, and what is possible can happen to all of us.  In this light, envy can become inspiration.  Use it.
