Today’s Stoic
If anyone is the object of another’s envy, do not concern yourself; remember that no one can be unhappy for the sake of another.
Epictetus · Enchiridion · paraphrase
What it means today

Other people’s envy is not yours to carry. The unhappy feelings of those around you belong to them. You have enough to manage with your own.

Try this todayWhen you feel weighed down by someone else’s envy or resentment, remind yourself their feeling is theirs.
