Monday Musings with Michele: How to Turn Envy into Admiration

The Good Life with Michele Lamoureux

Have you ever considered that envy and admiration are two sides of the same coin. How? When we admire someone it’s because of something they’ve done and how they show up in the world. We respect something about them. Now, flip the coin and on the other side you may find envy, which is not a positive feeling about someone. BUT, it may be because of you would like to accomplish something they’ve accomplished or wishing you could do what they do. Instead of feeling admiration, envy pops up. When you are feeling envious of someone, you can flip the coin. That person is a mirror showing you what you really want. What a gift that person is in your life. Ask yourself what it is about that person that makes you feel envious. Is it their influence, what they do, their knowledge — it’s key to get clear. When you are able to identify what it is about that person that triggers the envy, you are gaining great insights into what you actually want for your life. Start looking at them with admiration and gratitude. To attract what you want, you’ll want to be in a high vibe state and sending out good in the world. That person is mirroring what is possible! Use envy as a piece of the puzzle about where you want to go. When you see this it’s easy to flip the emotion to admiration.
