There’s a saying, “Wherever you go, there you are.” Sometimes (and I’m guilty of this as well, so I’m not judging you) it’s our thoughts that cause problems. It’s not that our friends are doing so much better, it’s the fact that we aren’t doing what we want to be doing. Not really. You see your friend essentially living “your dream,” which makes it harder to be happy for her. Well, she’s not living your dream, but neither are you. One book I’ve found that has REALLY helped me (two actually) change my thought processes and these changes have actually created a better life for me. One is “The Four Doors” by Richard Paul Evans, and the other is “The Compound Effect” by Darren Hardy. It’s not always our actions that create change. Change the way we think, and change our daily habits, and we can change our circumstances.

I hope this helps 🙂
