Are you happy with your life?

[Tetsu Inoue]

A lot of the reason that you yearn for this lifestyle is because it is glorified by the media, television, etc.

In fact, this is often the goal of TV advertisements. They want you to be awestricken and fascinated with the celebrity lifestyle so that you will buy celebrity magazines, watch reality shows based on their lives, follow them on Twitter and look at advertisements, etc etc. So you are falling hook, line and sinker for marketing.

People always want what they don't have. You want fame, riches and popularity. Many of the celebrities that already have these things, probably desire peace, tranquility, privacy, and solitude. Think Paparazzis.

There was a time in my life when I thought the same things as you have. Now I realize there's nothing I'd want less than to have a camera shoved in my face, or a thousand cameras flashing at me as I stand on a red carpet with some suit, knowing that my tastes in fashion are being mercilessly judged by OMG Yahoo and other celebrity journalism outlets.

As someone else stated, there are always going to be people on either extreme of you, with either more or less, and you just have to learn to be content with where you are.

A glass "half full" person would look at those who have it worse, and feel grateful for what they have.

A glass "half empty" person would look at those who have more, and feel grief for not having it too.
