Eliminating envy

See also previous post on eliminating jealousy.

Here is a simple and effective formula to eliminate envy.

Observe that envy is due to two facts:
1) You want to have X.
2) You think you cannot have X.

Analysis:
(1) is good. (2) is bad.
Change (2) to this and the problem is solved:
2) Think you can have X.

Everything starts with a thought. Belief will follow, then action
and everything that will make it become true will follow.
The same way all the self-fulfilling prophecies work.
And, if it is not something you should want (1), you will discover
it on the way, in which case the problem will be solved in another way.
In all cases, you will have your problem solved.
Therefore, this is a complete and sound solution.

Note how simple this solution is.
Simplicity is powerful.
Just like Leonardo Da Vinci said:
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

Interestingly, when you achieve your success, if somebody asks you
how you achieved your success, you can actually say "Because I said so."
And note that this will be actually correct!
