I realized a long time ago that instead of being jealous you can be inspired and appreciative. It carries more energy to you. . . That can be an awesome motivating force that can improve your life if you choose to be inspired and not jealous.

It is one of the greatest problems. It will appear very paradoxical, but this is true - before you can lose your ego, you must attain it. Only a ripe fruit falls to the ground. Ripeness is all.

Rather than destroying it, you will find it more strengthened, in new and subtle ways.
