Being bitter about how much better other people's lives may be is wasted energy. If anything, see it as where you'll be once you've succeeded in life. Redirect your energy into bettering yourself, focus on it, and let it be the absolute prime goal in your life. Wake up thinking about it, go to bed thinking about it, and devote any spare time in your day thinking about it.
