"Right thing for the wrong reasons rather than the wrong things for the right reason.” Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) discusses the importance of envy as a driver for success and self-improvement. He identifies envy and jealousy as distinct emotions, with the former being a desire for something someone else has while the latter is the fear of losing something one already possesses to someone else.
