Plenty of people who seem to have perfect lives, are not necessarily happy and many others who seem to have little are perfectly happy with what they have.

I'm going off topic a sec, but want to share my favorite saying of my mom's: "You are not better than anyone else, but you are just as good"

We will definitely be happy if we get satisfied with what we have.
But it is difficult to do so sometimes. Problem starts when we start comparing ourselves with others who have access to more resources (like time, money, etc) than us. But at the end, i guess we should ignore it to be happy.
