I saw Matthew McConaughey giving a speech or talk about how his hero, and who he pursues . . . is him in the future. By design, that hero can never be caught up with, requiring constant self-improvement, frequent changes of course as needed. Only competition we really have is in the mirror.

Perhaps or perhaps I envy something about them they did nothing to deserve.. they were born with it or inherited it... or actually got LUCKY. (winning the lottery) for example. But I do get your reasoning.

I don't envy others.

And I don't settle. I'm alway striving for something.

However, the question was are real estate agents settling for less, and I do think many are.
