Ditch the Envy, Embrace the Joy: Simple Steps to Live a More Fulfilling Life
The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor. –Socrates
The wise Socrates once said: “The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.” This means getting jealous of others’ success only hurts ourselves, not them.
Feeling envious can make us unhappy and even mean. But Socrates teaches us to be happy for others’ achievements instead.
By focusing on our own journey and celebrating others’ success, we can be happier. So, remember: don’t shrink because your neighbor thrives!
