One way to deepen this awareness is to watch other people. Pay attention to those who love their lives and see what they do. What do they have that you don’t? We can learn a lot from what initially looks like envy—namely, what you are missing. You might have to see someone else love their life before you can love your own. Love, after all, is what holds this all together, what sustains a calling when nothing else will. This is not petty jealousy, not if we take it one step further and do something with those feelings.
