A short parable set in the Himalayan foothills shows how envy fades when we see the quiet trade-offs behind freedom and stability. Through the story of the old tree and the passing clouds, we explore how consistency can be strength, flexibility can be wisdom, and peace arises when we honor our own unique role in life.

In this episode:
• Parable of the old tree and passing clouds
• The contrast between freedom and constancy
• Recognizing the trade-offs behind envy
• Consistency as an anchor in times of change
• Valuing unique roles and strengths
• Acceptance of differences without judgment
• A practical reflection on purpose and identity

✨ A gentle reminder that we can find harmony not by wishing to be different, but by embracing the beauty of who we already are.
