The wisdom, joy and brilliance you see in others reflects your own wisdom, joy and brilliance. While this may seem a stretch for you, think about it. You know what you like and what you don't like. What you like matches
with what you hold valuable and worthwhile, and what you don't like is what you consider to be without value.
This is based on who you are, as reflected in your values...what you hold valuable. Just as an experiment, think of all those people you admire, past and present, and as you think of them, say to yourself, "That is me. I am the essence of that goodness." If you fall into envy, it's only because you think you can't have that goodness you see...here's your inspiring antidote (in video below).
