Admire Vs Envy

It is normal you will see that

other people possesses something/being better than you.

Then you may have one of the following feelings.

Case 1

You admire that person.

You admire how great that his ability he had

You admire how can he solved such questions or how he was accepted by one of the top universities in the world.

Then you would like to let this person to be your role model

and mimic his actions and mottoes in life

(not the way he talk or his gestures)

Case 2

You admire yet demotivated yourself.

You start to doubt about yourself that how "foolish" or "useless" you are

and why you cannot do this.

You doubt on your ability that it is impossible to be as good as him.

Therefore,

you end up with giving up in your life

and sink into a hole which so called "failure".

Case 3

You feel envious his ability

which I would said is not a good start.

Even though you envy

You are driven by your emulous

You work very hard to equip yourself as capable as he/she is.

At least this envious feeling motivates you in a good manner,

although you sacrificed your fun time too.

Case 4
Your feeling changes from envious to jealous.
You will start to feel uncomfortable with his/her little actions,
moving on to unlike every single thing that he/she does.
In the end, you are not just blocked down the interactions/friendship with that person
as well as yourself
Just because that little feeling of jealousy
it affects your emotion, mental, physical, work, study and so on.
You are ruining yourself
and also "failed" in the worst way.

Most of people would say they admire of someone else,
in actual they envy the one.
That is including myself,
sadly.
No one could not escape this trap in life.

Message is:
Since we cannot escape it,
we endure it,
let us turn envy into admire with someone in a motivating way.
If you still feel envy instead of admire,
do not let it become jealousy.
Make it like a competition between you and him (actually is yourself)
