Envy which inspires, motivates and prompts you to action and greatness — not the petty envy/jealousy which weakens you and makes you small.
For example, I envy Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Kanye West, and all this great artist-entrepreneurs. My positive envy and admiration for them drives me.
When I see someone at the gym who can squat 4 plates (405+ pounds) with no belt, this positive envy inspires me to work harder to achieve the same!
Envy isn’t a vice. Pettiness is. Harness envy in a positive way, to elevate you to grand heights— where you can delight in the brisk and icy air!
