Do You Envy Someone? Good.
Do You Envy Someone? Good.
Here’s Why That’s Actually a Great Sign
Envy gets a bad rap. It's uncomfortable. We avoid it. We disguise it as something else. But what if I told you that feeling envy might be one of the most honest signs that you're ready to grow?
In this post, I invite you to look directly at this emotion, stop repressing it, and discover how to turn it into an ally for your self-esteem, abundance, and personal expansion.
Feeling Envy Doesn’t Make You a Bad Person — It Makes You Human
Yes, you read that right.
Feeling envy doesn’t make you a bad person. It doesn't make you negative or spiritually "less evolved." What matters is not that you feel it — it’s what you do with it.
You can use envy to judge others, shrink yourself, or stay stuck…
Or you can use it as a compass. Because envy shows up when a part of you desires something you're not allowing yourself to receive. That inner tension? It’s a message — not a flaw.
Envy vs. Admiration: The Difference Is in Your Self-Worth
Envy and admiration come from the same root: you see something in someone else that touches something inside you.
But here's the difference:
When you admire, you believe it’s possible for you too.
When you envy, you feel like it’s not.
So the problem isn't the other person’s success — it’s the belief that you can’t have it too.
In that sense, envy is not a defect. It’s a mirror. It shows you where you’re not believing in yourself. And also — what matters deeply to you that you don’t yet have.
The Real Problem Isn’t Envy — It’s Not Doing Anything With It
Envy itself isn’t toxic. But it becomes toxic when we let it rot inside us. When we deny it, repress it, or secretly hope the other person fails so we feel better. That’s when it turns into resentment or bitterness — and blocks your own energy.
Here’s the truth:
If someone else’s success triggers you, you have two choices:
Drag them down to your level: criticize, judge, minimise, gossip.
Raise yourself to theirs: observe what it touches in you, and do the inner work.
Because the issue isn’t that they’re “too high” — it’s that you’re not letting yourself rise.
You don’t need them to come down. You need to rise up. And if another human could do it… so can you.
Envy as a Compass: What Is It Trying to Tell You?
Instead of shutting envy down, ask yourself:
What part of this person’s life or success do I actually want?
What am I telling myself that makes it feel impossible?
What belief is separating me from what I deeply desire?
That uncomfortable feeling is pointing to something you long for but haven’t given yourself permission to claim. Don’t repress it — decode it.
Because sometimes, envy isn’t about the other person at all. It’s about the version of you that you’re scared to step into.
What Envy Says About Your Relationship With Money
Let’s take it a step further.
Have you ever felt triggered by someone making good money, living with freedom, or enjoying their work? That discomfort can signal an unprocessed emotional block related to your self-worth and abundance.
When envy isn’t acknowledged, your body can shift into a subtle scarcity mode. And in that state, receiving becomes extremely difficult.
That’s why working with emotions like envy isn’t just healing — it’s part of unlocking your next level of prosperity.
So What Can You Do With This?
You don’t need to eliminate envy. You need to listen to it.

Final Thought (You Might Need to Hear This One)
“What you admire in others also lives in you. The only difference is: they gave themselves permission to show it… and you haven’t yet.”
Let that be your turning point.
