This morning, a friend shared with me a story about his lovely morning adventure. My first instinct was to say, “Ah, that’s incredible, I’m wildly envious!” But what I truly meant was, “Wow, you’re beautiful. I’m deeply inspired by your story.”

I think oftentimes, we focus on what others have that we don’t, and it brings us to a place of comparison rather than unity. In these moments, we’re faced with a choice; we can either feel envy or inspiration. I promise you they’re equally powerful.
