The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbor. – Horace

After reading this quote I got a mental picture of a man leaning on a fence looking at his neighbors green grass and the man gets leaner and sadder as the days fly by.

Spending your life envying what others have is a surefire way to waste it.

What do instead?

Be grateful and paint a vision of your own future that is worth working towards.

Find something or someone to be grateful for today. Tell someone.

Write down one thing you are looking forward to in your own life. Tell someone.

Make it a great day.
