Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.
--Harold Coffin
I'm sure most of us feel a bit of envy from time to time. I confess that even though I love my choice of career, I do envy the people who work a shift job. When they get home, their work is done. Self-employment can create a feeling that one should be working even during times of leisure. When I get to feeling this way, I have to remind myself that I value the flexibility of being able to take time off on a whim.
Can you identify things that have made you feel envious? How can you remind yourself to count your own blessings?
