Envy of Ambition

November 4, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Solomon says in Ecclesiastes 4.4, “I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

Does all ambition come down to envy?  Can we truly not aim for success without leaving another in failure?

Steve Covey suggests an “abundance mentality;” a win-win for both parties.  There should be enough good things in this world to go around, but we all, along with Solomon, carry our doubts that this will play out.
