This is not to make others look bad but this is to not make you feel so bad.
Someone you know got promoted at work? Someone you know got another car? Someone already got married? Someone just bought a new house?
These are only some of the good things in life and most of them fall under safety needs that make a person, well, secured. It also makes an illusion that the other needs in our life will be filled.
If you are not yet promoted, don't have your own place, don't have your dream car or even just a car, or not married yet, you might feel like you are late in stepping up the ladder and you might feel left out. It will only be true if you let it make you feel that way.
You have to recognize the envy that you feel towards the people whom you see as 'more successful.'
Accept your envy but don't stop there. You will keep on envying people if you don't appreciate what you have and you will end up as a bitter person.
Work on what you have and accept that life is not a race. Anyway, the people you feel jealousy for probably don't have the perfect lives you imagine them to have. They also deal with the same insecurities that you do. We all have our own battles. You should fight your own.
You can only do something for yourself. Life is not a race. Live a life that you would enjoy looking back to when you become older.
