“The earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have, and not obsess about what you don’t have, the happier you will be”

Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you have a toy you really like. If you keep thinking about a toy you don't have, you might feel sad or upset. But if you enjoy the toy you already have, you feel happy and grateful. This idea works for grown-ups too. If someone always wants more money, a bigger house, or a better job, they might miss out on the joy of the good things they already have. Instead of feeling bad about what's missing, appreciating what is present can make life more satisfying. For instance, spending time with family and friends can bring more happiness than constantly wishing for more material things. This way of thinking helps people feel content and less stressed.
