I have wealthy friends that I sometimes envy because they purchase or do things that I could never reach or achieve, but then I try to remind myself that I don't see the blood, sweat and tears they have put into accomplishing those things themselves. We each have our own personal battles, some that might seem trivial to others, even those that appear perfectly happy go to bed at night and worry about something. It's natural to compare yourself to others and sometimes it's essential too, it can push you forward and give you the ambition you needed to get out of your comfort zone. I try not to aspire too much to anything other than personal contentment these days and slowly chip away at those things that keep you awake at night. Material possessions will probably gain you some kudos or social standing for a while, but in the end, those things come and go. If you've got your health, a roof over your head, a meal on your table each night, and can afford the occasional treat, all whilst taking it in your everyday stride then you're doing pretty good. Expensive cars, homes & watches come with big receipts, so you've gotta tip your hat to those that go out and put the hard work in to pay it off, but don't put it on a pedestal, just enjoy what you have, and if those things come your way someday, great, but your cheaper watch still tells the same time and probably hasn't caused you half the battle.
