You compare yourself to your peers and what your expectations are growing up and what you experience.

Life is much easier if you don't have that mindset.

I, in fact, do wake up every morning thankful for what I have, even if it's not as much as my neighbor.

Why? Striving for something is actually fun for some people. (Unless I am not getting your point exactly.)

Oh I'm certainly striving to make my own life better. I just don't use other people as a gauge as to whether or not I've "made it".
