There must be a medical term for- " I want what he has" because so many people suffer from it.
My guess is today's generation suffers from it much more than our great great grand parents because we know more and today we know it a wrap speed.
You don't miss what you don't know.
Back before TV and way before the internet people pretty much only knew what went on their street, and it was probably dirt and had a half dozen houses spread out over 100 acres.
Today everybody flaunts what they have and others think - wow, what am I doing wrong- I want what he has.
But know this- everybody has their own burdens and sad stories. It may not always be what it appears to be.
Just look at Robin Williams or Bill Cosby, you do not have to look far to see that people are not always who they appear to be.
So the best medicine against this disease is to just worry about yourself and be thankful for what you do have.
That my friends is the true meaning of success and will lead you down the road of less stress- just worry about your house.
What can you do to help somebody else today?
What can you improve on with your personality and outlook?
Remember that Less is More...

And,we all want to provide less for more....More or less...Really,I look at this and see jealousy,jealousy we have all seen in social media,drivers seeing others doing this or that and wondering why it's not them...WHY at the start they don't have the big line hauls....Why they see others doing this or that and want to compare...NEWS!Worry about your own stuff,more than half of what you think you see is bull shit...Get it on,keep the left door closed and get it off.....Build a reputation,and you will get there...
Always a good scripture for every occasion:
“But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting and lying. For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.”
James 3:14-16 NLT
