Harmony is the sound of things that go together well. When you attend a musical concert, you expect the chords to be in a pleasing combination; otherwise, there is a lack of harmony. As humans, we must create harmony between us, which we can reach only with an open heart. Francis of Assisi said, “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.” An open heart is an instrument for peace, love, and harmony.

Envy gives way to disharmony. It is a feeling of resentment aroused by someone else’s qualities. Not everyone was born to be a leader. I used to tell my classmates that my MBA doesn’t qualify me to be a better business manager than my mom. But ignorance makes people believe that a higher degree is all they need to become a leader. Not at all! Ambition, jealousy, and envy are pure ignorance. To build a better community, everyone must play their role efficiently. A frog may die without being metamorphosed into a toad.

You must understand that your hands have five fingers, and no one is better than the other. To contribute efficiently to your community, be conscious of your divine mission.
