When you do wake up, you will realise another's apparent success or failure is an illusion of your interpretation of their life. It has no relevance to your life though. Your new aim is for you to create your own path consciously and it may be completely removed from a life of financial wealth, mansions, fast cars and exotic holidays.
These are goals you have set for yourself because you have seen others elevate their status in the eyes of those that matter and well, society deemed these material and social accomplishments as important particularly if you are to feel successful compared to the high profile achievers of society. Achieving these goals would deem you better than the rest; which of course you have been taught to believe is the only measure of success. This is the path of the Ego and unfortunately, this is a zero-sum path, after all, it is a separate synthetic construct of its own; designed over many generations of a sovereign rule to keep you captive doing pointless activities, striving for financial wealth to buy material goods and even services that enrich a few. Even the goal of security for you and your family reveals a failure to understand the true nature of your physical life.
Of course, chasing goals is fine if you consciously decide that this is a rabbit hole you wish to pursue with your full ability and power. However, chasing financial or material goals with an unconscious mind will suck you into a material world where your happiness will likely be dependant on gaining something in the future, while you miss the reality of whats going on around you right now. Chasing a goal someone else has chosen for you through suggestion or fear of what others think will consume your life before you know it, as other people will gladly accept your God-given life force as their own if you give it to them freely each day.
You have no requirement to chase, pursue or please anyone. You are already everything you need to be. Because of this, it follows that you can be anything you want to be.

That said, the truth is that you are a victim of your own making, yes you do have all the attributes to flourish without additional enhancement but the consequences of your childhood learning processes mean that your experience is completely random. If you are reading this and it resonates with your own self-image, your core beliefs just do not include the concept that you are as good as them. What was taught in public schools compared to private schools back in the 20th century?
If this doesn't resonate with your self-image, then congratulations you're fortunate but among the few. You too can benefit from awakening. Awake to the idea that you are a construct and that your success has nothing to do with you but to do with your early influences which you can be rightfully grateful. Your challenge is to awake to this and use the strength of your core beliefs to empower your fellow human beings rather than believing the Ego construct that you have been conditioned to believe, that you as an individual are, well, just of better breeding. Sucked into the class structure that maintains limitations on other groups by withholding the abundance that is their birthright by perpetuating ignorance. Maintaining their suffering to somehow alleviate the suffering experienced by the privileged classes and their offspring. This, however, becomes their limitation as well.
Capitalism, as it is practised today, perpetuates the zero-sum game that, for there to be winners there must be losers. Your challenge is to recognise that the "Oak Tree is in the Acorn". That is where the magic is. Where there is a lack in an abundant universe there is greed. Our first goal in life is to alleviate poverty and ensure all people on earth are provided for from the abundance. Conceiving is the process by which we have been gifted the opportunity to learn unconditional love. Once we become aware of this lesson, the next step is to awake to our singularity and extend this unconditional love to all and then we will see real prosperity in action.
