Honestly for me we just can't help it. I mean envying others and comparing their lives to ours. We are just human. We have this stupid thing called emotions. I'm not trying to say that it can't be done but it takes a lot of discipline and self reflection to do. I have partially done it so I know. That is why I said that we can't help it. That is part of what makes us human.

As you said gratitude is one of the keys to achieve that and also contentment. Most people are not contented with what they have that is why they envy others. It's hard to stay contented when you have no gratitude. These two come hand in hand to have a happy life. Well this is what I believe to be so. As you said We are all different as have our own roads to follow.

Cheers and have a great day 😁
