Envy, a monster we often fail to recognize. A fierce foe to conquer because he will squeeze the joy and life out of his victim. And yes, I have to deal with him too, from time to time.
Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own. ~Harold Coffin
Envy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self worth. Each of us has something to give that no one else has. ~Elizabeth O'Connor

Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy. ~François Duc de La Rochefoucauld
Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate. ~William Arthur Ward
Instead of focusing on what others have that I don’t, I thank God for what I do have. And before I know it, I forget what I’m envious about because I’m drowning in a sea of blessings. ~Rissa S. Kawpeng

You're not alone, Izdiher. It's the same battle for me too sometimes!
i guess we all get envy at times too, but we should just remember to focus our mind on what we can do to be better person instead of getting jealous with other people :)
I definitely agree with you Hazel. Yes we have to focus on what we can do. We have to focus on our strengths and our contribution to society! Thanks!
