Earlier this week, I came across this inspirational story on Oprah.com, and it has totally changed my outlook on envy. Envy is something that I really struggle with. It's so easy to look at someone else, and wish that you had what they had, whether it be a loving relationship, the ability to take exciting trips around the world, or even the respect from other people at work. If I had what those people had, then I would be happy. Right? Not necessarily.
Something I have learned, is that it's not what we have or don't have, but rather, our outlook on life that makes us happy. Instead of looking at life as an individual competition, where you need to be ahead of everyone else, look at it as a team effort instead. We're all in this challenge of life together.
The story below is also a really great lesson in Ubuntu. I am, because we are. I just think it's such an amazing way to approach life. :)
