Envy’s foothold is our discontent, our unsettledness not finding satisfaction.
We look outside ourselves seeking the content we cannot give ourselves.
The antidote is valuing and appreciating what we have.
Looking outside ourselves, we miss what is right here in front of our very nose–all we have.
When we value what we have, we find the value in it.
First notice of envy’s foot in the door, shoe it away with contentment!
