“I cannot overstate how much a generous spirit contributes to good luck. Look at the luckiest people around you, the ones you envy, the ones who seem to have destiny falling habitually into their laps. If they're anything like the fortunate people I know, they're prepared, they're always working at their craft, they're alert, they involve their friends in their work, and they tend to make others feel lucky to be around them.” PeopleIfsKnowsFeelsLooksSeemsSpiritFallDestinyLuckyLuckPreparedEnvyCraftsGenerosityFortunateGenerousLapGood LuckAlways WorkingGenerous Spirit Book:The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life Source: The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life
“This country of ours has more wealth than any nation, but that's not what makes us rich. We have the most powerful military on Earth, but that's not what makes us strong. Our universities and our culture are the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the world coming to our shores. Instead, it is that American spirit - that American promise - that pushes us forward even when the path is uncertain; that binds us together in spite of our differences; that makes us fix our eye not on what is seen, but what is unseen, that better place around the bend.” WorldCountryEyeEarthTogetherSpiritCultureStrongNationsDifferencesWealthPowerfulPathRichMilitaryPromiseUniversityEnvySpiteMost PowerfulShoreUncertainUnseenBetter PlaceAmerican SpiritAround The Bend Author:Barack Obama

“Envy is an ill-natured vice, and is made up of meanness and malice. It wishes the force of goodness to be strained, and the measure of happiness abated. It laments over prosperity, and sickens at the sight of health. It oftentimes wants spirit as well as good nature.” WantWellsMadeSpiritForceWishGoodnessSightIllProsperityVicesEnvyMaliceMeannessLamentGood Nature Author:Jeremy Collier
“When envy lies within a woman's heart it cuts into her soul & gives her a toxic spirit. It is truly something to be disgusted by. I have experienced it so much in my own life that I can sense the energy of envy without any communication from the other person. It lingers in the air to pollute your environment. Envy is a brutal force of bad vibes sucking the love right out of your heart.” GivingHeartPersonsI CanSoulSpiritLyingEnergyForceMy OwnEnvironmentCuttingAirCommunicationEnvyToxicBrutalOur EnvironmentMy Own LifeDisgustedVibesBad Vibes Author:Bindu
