Whenever I feel envy (and I inevitably do) I try to to use it as a guide for what I should work on. I acknowledge I’m not as good as I could be. And I try to use it as fuel to improve my own life. I crucify myself with all that I lack in the hopes of a “transformation.” In practice, that means setting some time aside in the day to read more, workout more, practice more. But I have to be careful. Sometimes envy can be deceitful. It’s easy to fall for things I don’t actually want. So I use envy as a guide, an approximate one, to reflect on what I lack and what I can do to change it, if anything at all. It’s my Elysian mirror.
