Chapter 7: It is better to envy others than to be yourself

There is such a fable: the pig said that if I live again, I will be a cow, although the work is tiring, but the reputation is good, people love the cow and say that if I live again, I want to be a pig, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, do not exert force, do not sweat, live like the fairy eagle said that if I live again, I want to be a chicken, thirsty for water, hungry for rice, live in a house, and be protected by people The chicken said that if I live again, I want to be an eagle, I can soar in the sky, travel all over the world, and hunt rabbits and chickens at will. It's an interesting phenomenon, and it's a sight to be.

[Don't envy others]

We are always envious of what others have, envy other people's jobs, envy the new houses bought by friends, envy other people's cars, etc., but ignore one thing, we ourselves are also the envy of others.

In fact, people are always envious of each other like this. Some people often fantasize that one day when they wake up, they will become so-and-so. It may be because we are well aware of the shortcomings of our own lives, so we will compare those lives that we think are more perfect, and use them as the coordinates of life. In fact, there is no such thing as perfection in this world, and those we envy are also suffering from their dissatisfaction. The so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and people's vain nature makes them show their own scenery to others, and who can really see behind the scenery of others? Many times, what is obtained is what is inherited, and everything has two sides like a coin, with positive and negative.

People, especially women, often like to compare themselves with others, and the result is that "people are more popular than people", in fact, you might as well compare yourself to see if you are getting better and better, and whether you are getting closer and closer to your desired goal. Give yourself encouragement from time to time and you will do better. Maybe while you envy others, others are also envying you.

Of course, there are people who do deserve our envy, not entirely because they get more, but because they are good at management.

Envy others because we expect perfection and hope to live better. However, we ignore the fact that everyone's situation is different, and others can never imitate it. However, we can correct our own shortcomings by observing the strengths of others, and instead of looking up to the happiness of others, we should pay attention to the ways in which others manage happiness, and instead of envying the good fortune of others, we should learn from the process of others' efforts.

Stop envying others for what they do, count the grace that God has given you, and you will find that you have more than you don't. And the missing part, although not lovely, is also a part of your life, accept it and treat it well, and your life will be much happier and more open-minded.

So, you really don't have to envy others. Keep what you have and think about what you really want, and we will be truly happy!
