‘When we’re focused on what other people have, we don’t have time to realize who we are, what we care about, and what we can do to create our own happiness now.’– Alex Liu

Do not resent other people for what they have. Do not envy other people for what they have. You have what it takes to make what they have.

They are not smarter than you. Maybe they just work a little harder than you right now. You can change that. All you have to do is focus on what you want for yourself, for your life.

Do not waste your time and energy on what other people have. If you work harder, you can change your life. Remember, life is not about what you have, but about how happy you are with what you have.

Do not lose yourself to what other people have. Instead, take charge of your life. Commit yourself to what you are doing right now. Do not waste your time.

If are not getting what you want, maybe it is time to change your focus. Why is that? Because if you focus on what other people are doing, you will never have time to do your own thing. And you will never have time to live your own life.

Do you want that to happen to you? If not, then change your focus.

Work On Yourself, Not Others

"Even if you seek to harm an enemy, you should remove your own defects and cultivate good qualities. Through that you will help yourself, and the enemy will be displeased."- Nagarjuna

Do not try to fix, to change another person. Do not try to do to others what you can't do to yourself. Before you try to change another person, you must first change yourself. 
Focus on what you can do for yourself, not what others can do for you. You will enjoy your life even more than you are enjoying now if you can just focus on working on yourself. 

Work on yourself. It is you. Life is all about you. Do not be scared to confront life. Because if you do not do it, no one is going to help you get rid of your defects. If you want your defects to go away, you must be true to yourself. 
Whatever you want from others, just do it for yourself. When you do, others will do the same.
