I often hear people wish they were some famous person. When they wish this they are only wishing for that person’s net worth, social clout, and job.
They never think about what they don’t see. If you’re going to envy someone, you must envy their entire life. Their divorce, their kids that hate them, their friends that only hang out with them becuase their famous, the hundreds of thousands of people on social media who hate them and send them vile messages, the press judging them and their decisions, etc.
It’s easy to desire the good and hard to think of the bad. Everyone is going through it rough. Some people have it rougher than others and some have it easier. Rather than envying someone, focus on your negatives. The things people who envy you don’t know about. This will surely make you happier than envying someone famous.
