Your human its built in to your nature to be curious and to want!.
Is it really that you would change your life though or that you just imagine what it would be like!.
We all take things for granted that we have every day we tend to see the bad, maybe if you see the bad in been famous, the long working hours no privacy constant scrutiny always havin to look good it may put you off!.
Dont feel guilty for thinkin theese things if we din think and dream wed have no ambition or strive to do anything!.
You mentioned god, perhaps one of the gifts he has given u is ambition and dreams!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm exactly the same (and I'm sure most people go through phases like this, it is part of 'being human' I think)!.

When I feel like this I slap myself mentally by putting on the news or reading info on the internet about people with what I consider are 'real' problems!. Last time I watched the movie about the holocaust and then another about the Rwanda issue!. I soon pull myself together and become thankful once again as to how lucky I am to be here and live in a world that is not as bad as it used to be!. I also thank god that I don't have half the problems other do!. Hope this helps xWww@QuestionHome@Com

You have good thoughts mainly but when ego thoughts crop up, you wish for fame, get bored in the present!.Meditation is the best method to keep yourself cool and contented!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well if you aren't content with your life, rather than learning to settle, you should strive to be content!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
