This is such an interesting topic for reflection, because even though we all probably experience envy at times, it can often bring a sense of guilt or shame along for the ride, too. I find it helpful to remind myself that if someone else has achieved or experienced something I want, they are actually offering proof that it is possible - so I can celebrate them *and* continue moving toward it myself. I appreciate the examples and insights you’ve shared here - thank you!

Great point, if someone has done it, then it isn't impossible. So maybe it's possible for the rest of us as well!
Good topic!
I get envious of people that make decisions for themselves easily. That always ask for exactly what they want unapologetically.
Something to learn from - I can ask. The answer can be no, but it can also be a yes or a maybe / halfway / collab!
Yep, you don't need to answer "no" for other people...
Just realised I am jealous of people who can forget about work when not at work!!! I think I need someplace else to put my mind…
@Cindy- that's an interesting one! But yes, suggests it is something you might be able to work on over time?
