Inspired by: Mevlana RumiDiscuss this Big Idea in the Forums!
"On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion."
~ Mevlana Rumi, 13th century sufi poet and mystic from Rumi Daylight: A Daybook of Spiritual Guidance
Rumi adds, "Indeed envy is a defect; worse than any other.”
Let’s stop worrying about what other people are up to and remember that "The race is long and in the end, it is only with yourself."

“Hi Brian - - I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy thinkarete. In the beginning, I wasn't sure how you could do it daily, but it gives me just enough philosophy to ponder and I can delve deeper into something when I have the time. Arete (the newsletter) has also inspired some insightful (not inciteful!) dialogue between my best friend and myself. We look forward to our daily Arete. Thanks for sharing.”
~ Lisa M.
