Othello
Macbeth
Hamlet

"People want what you have, without having to do, what you've done."

There's an envy you don't see at first among the ones in your circle. They justify it because they've known you since you didn't have all of the things you have now and somehow because they've known you consistently.

Since they expect that their lives should have moved at the same pace yours did but

did they walk at the same speed you did?
were they walking while you were running?
were they sleeping while you were grinding away?
were their actions equal in impact and commitment to your actions?
Most likely not! the one who takes the bigger risk and wins, gets to enjoy exponentially higher rewards.

Be thankful, you're in the room, when the cake is being cut and you're getting a slice but this doesn't mean you get to eat as much of the cake as the one who found the recipe gathered all the ingredients learned all the skills hired everyone involved in baking it and then found a way to sell it to the masses.
