The things which will mean the most to you or make you happy in life are the things you had to work for. The only reason you feel the compulsion to brag about what you have is because you're not really thankful for or happy about what you have and you are dissatisfied with what you have. If others can appreciate what you have, then you'll be momentarily happy with what you have. The only way you can truly appreciate the value of what you have is by working for it. My hubby spoils me with his love. I'm very thankful to have him in my life. :)
