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!
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?

Great point, if someone has done it, then it isn't impossible. So maybe it's possible for the rest of us as well!
