Jealous

These days I am Jealous of successful people. I am not able to enjoy my life. 

Am i miserable because I have lots of dream and can't fulfill because of money? There are certain aspects in life over which you have full control and there are others on which you have none. But you have to live wisely. What does this involve ? Wise living would include accoomodating both the controllable and uncontrollable variables of life. You come from and unhappy family and lack of money. You have no choice in this matter. But you have a choice not to be a victim of an unhappy home. I'll tell you a story; A father and the two sons lived in a single room. The father used to come home drunk every day and watch TV, disturbing his children to study. The elder son concentrated on his studies while the younger son followed in father's footsteps. As adults, the older boy got and award for excellence as a citizen of the town while the younger son was imprisoned for a petty crime. 

When they were questioned, the younger said, I became like this because of my father, who created a bad environment at home." While the elder said, i attribute my success to my drunken father, due to which i was determined to concentrate for mine success'. The situation was same but choice where different. It is our response that determines quality of life. Jealousy exists when one has not learnt to rejoice in the success of others. Jealousy also exists when there is unwise comparison. 

Well am still not able to come out of the environment i went through even how hard i am determined and concentrate to succeed in life. I need money for that i need to succeed, i am not able to succeed so all i can do is be jealous of successful people around me.
