“Envy is the art of counting the other fellow’s blessings instead of your own.”

—Harold Coffin, 20th century humor columnist for the Associated Press

My Dad — Marvin Demp

A week from today will be the second anniversary of my dad’s passing. Not a day goes by without numerous reminders of this wonderful man.

• He would frequently tell me why he felt like the richest man in the world
• His wealth was primarily intrinsic and based on the of love for and from family and friends
• When others were doing well, he always wished them well without a hint of envy
• He understood and embraced the abundance in his life and he was perpetually grateful

EXERCISE:

Where do you feel blessed in your life?

Where may the heavy clouds of envy prevent you from experiencing the many riches within arm’s reach?
