Do not envy others for what they have. 

Get busy planting more good seeds. 

It’s very tempting when looking at those who have much good fortune to feel envious or deem it unfair in light of so many other people having so little. It doesn’t help when the fortunate ones are obnoxious and egotistical. Seriously, why should they get to enjoy such wealth! They get to because they planted the relevant seeds.

In other words, they earned their good fortune.

In previous lifetimes, they were generous and thoughtful not puffed-up and pompous. Whether they had much or little, they gave their resources, time, and energy. Perhaps, they publicly gave when they thought it would inspire others also to give. Maybe they gave anonymously to not embarrass the recipient. However they gave, they did so with sincerity and respect. And look at them now. Selfish and arrogant, they are planting seeds for a harrowing future downfall.

Learn from their example: Humbly open your heart and your hands to help others.

And don’t ever close them.
