Marcus Aurelius once said, "How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks." In this beautiful world we live in, there is more than enough to go around, and if one resource is 'lacking', another will be created to take its place.
The same holds true for man. When we exert our time and awareness seeking and pondering the resources of our neighbor, we are giving our power, our life source to them. The false desire to be like someone else, to have what they have, to do what they do is not congruent with our own individual Spirit. Ingrained in each of us is a purpose - something our heart and soul resonate with. Though it may appear to be as an other's, it is our own self expression which is unlike any other. We may look to another and appreciate what they have, or do, and in doing so, we maintain our individual desire or purpose.
"The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere to self." Anne Morrow Lindbergh
