Such wise words and good advice. I think often people just want instant gratification. We certainly live in a time that encourages us to think that way and also we live in culture of looking over the fence too see how much better it is for our 'virtual neighbour' probably aided a lot by instagram and facebook. People want the curated make belive lives that don't exist and then want them instantly so thus are always chasing a vague dream or ideal which can only lead to constant unhappiness. Most likely why so much 'complaining' exists in the virtual world, people just mad and not even knowing why.

When I see people who started after me surpass me, I think 'good on them' not 'hey give me that, it's mine' because if you can't enjoy other's success and joy how will you know how to enjoy your own?
