Envy is a veil that blinds ones eyes from this one story whilst he focuses on another man's strengths. We all have unique talents that can be leveraged on.
But rather than build on theirs, many take offense at the successes of others.
Each time you feel tempted to be envious, snap out of that relapse and tell yourself, "I am happy for your success." Then after that, go on and continue working on your own dreams.
Brilliant idea, by so doing you're paving your own way to success. Thanks for the feedback.
