So much of what we obsess over doesn’t really have a lasting impact. Fashion, food, yes it’s interesting, but is it important? Your friend wore those sneakers and you’re jealous so you whisper something bad about them — but maybe its jealousy that is far more toxic to you?

Spend some thinking about Jealousy itself — what it is, the role it really plays in our lives. Is it good for you? That’s far more valuable than worrying about what other people are doing.

If you look at yourself, your life, if you look at what’s important — how to have integrity, how to avoid jealousy — you’ll find that’s much more available than fuming or gossiping about someone else. Leave talking about people to... other people. Focus on ideas, on what actually matters in running your life.
