Wisdom & Mastery Monthly Tips I would venture a guess that many people have experienced such moments — when the ugly heat of envy rises from within, upon learning of someone else's success. Envy isn't considered one of the "seven deadly sins" for nothing. It's restricting and constricting. Think about it; take a moment to feel envy in your body and mind. It doesn't take more than a moment to know that envy isn't a good feeling, nor does it feel good or healthy in your body. Envy is poison. Envy is rooted in a foundation of lack and scarcity — a belief that there isn't enough to go around, so that when someone else "has" or in some way "succeeds", the immediate response for Envy Addicts is to resent rather than celebrate another's good fortune. Why? Because to the Envy Addict, the focus is on someone else having something he lacks and perhaps thinks he wants. What's more, the emphasis is on "not having" rather than on generative thoughts such as inspiration, possibility, and creativity. The person who chooses inspiration, though, has another experience altogether. She realized somewhere along the line that when envy arose in response to another's good fortune, Wisdom was trying to tell her something. After awhile, she decided to tune into Wisdom's message about the clues hidden in envious responses — clues to her deepest yearnings, to values that are deeply important to her, or to limiting beliefs that require transformation so that she can experience her own emergence into her highest potential, purpose, and yes, prosperity. We all really do have a choice — to either stay addicted to envy and other limiting and negative beliefs and thought-patterns that keep us small and resentful; or to choose to listen for Wisdom's message, excavate for the hidden clues revealed by our envy, and transform those thoughts into more expansive and creative ones. Transformed, we can choose to be inspired when we hear of another's good fortune, because we know that all that is ours will come to us, in its perfect timing and perfect way.
