A feeling of deep resentful longing, a pain at the sight of another’s good fortune,
attributes, qualities, achievements, possessions, advantages, luck or stature in life.

Where does envy come from? In essence, it’s coming from a deep feeling of separation, feeling disconnected and thinking we lack something. In our attempt to be whole, desiring to be connected and being it all, we rather wish that the other lacks it if we ‘fail’.

Envy is in other contexts fundamental to ambition and character, but if we do not know how to navigate these feelings of incompleteness and imperfection, a graceless way of envious attacks will be the result. How do we confront this idea?

We can use these feelings of envy, to work out our direction and purpose. We can shift these feelings of pain, into awareness of what is truly missing from our lives, to guide ourselves better. Growth will lead the way.

I envision a world where everyone is feeling complete, where we are embodying nature again and share the beauty of being different in a holistic reality. Let’s celebrate all our feelings and let them guide us in our lives. Let’s be happy for each other. A kind smile, word or gesture, can already be enough to change the world into a more graceful atmosphere to vibrate in.
