“I've been resenting people who have what I want instead of building toward it.”
Resentment is expensive. It costs you energy, clarity, and time you could spend building. Their success is not the problem and not the obstacle. Your attention is the only resource that matters here, and you're spending it on the wrong account.
Your Practice
Name the person or group you've been resenting. Write down what they have that you want. Then redirect: what is one action you can take today toward what you want that has nothing to do with them? Do that action. The resentment fades when you move.
The Architects
“You have to have some kind of a drive, some kind of a desire to find out the answer, a desire to find out what makes things tick.”
Claude Shannon, Creative Thinking, talk at Bell Laboratories, March 20, 1952
