It all has to do with the way we are and the way we face the situations. It is like the saying "It is not richer the one who has the most but the one who needs the least". When you thing you are struggling three is always people having worse conditions and still believing or adapting. It's though sometimes as we are affected by the environment but everything is in our mind.
While I am not a fan of centralized education, perhaps it would be good to introduce some kind of ideas around developing mindset or at least, developing skills of self-reflection at a younger age. It seems that parents on average are unwilling to do the job and will instead limit their children with platitudes.
