Summary

This quote suggests that envy is the act of constantly comparing oneself to others and focusing on their accomplishments and possessions. Instead of appreciating and valuing our own unique blessings and achievements, we become consumed by a desire for what others have. By doing so, we overlook our own individual strengths and opportunities for personal growth. The quote encourages us to shift our perspective and embrace gratitude for our own blessings rather than dwelling on what others may have.
