My thought for today is Envy. It is the pain we feel when someone else has something we desire. It can be a reminder to return our gaze to our own path and not to focus on things others have that we don't. The Big Book says on page 559, " We are taught to differentiate between our wants (which are never satisfied) and our needs (which are always provided for)." Envy often blinds us to our own gifts. It erodes gratitude and reinforces the fear that we are not enough. Gratitude can be found through wanting everything we have, not wanting everything they have.
