Hi Angelwings, I'll try to tackle these issues one at a time and see if I can help.

1. To help overcome what other people think of you, this article by Steve is one of the best:

2. To deal with jealousy of other people who have more than you, one of the best ways to deal with those feelings are to get so busy working on projects you enjoy that you don't have time to think about what other people are getting or doing.

3. Instead of working hard, why not try doing something you can get excited about? Then it won't feel like hard work. If your current job doesn't excite you, change jobs and keep changing until you find one that does. Not all jobs require "hard work" anyway. There are jobs where people end up sitting around all day and doing nothing 90 percent of the time. Plus, most wives of wealthy men end up getting bored so they start working anyway. They usually help charities, but they also start businesses sometimes too.

4. Here's a secret about adulthood: most adults have the same flaws as children, but they're just better at hiding them.

5. Work can be play too, especially because there are probably lots of jobs (or businesses to start) related to what you enjoy.
