I am not envious of physical things, because if I wanted something that much I could go and buy it.
What gets me is not having physical skills and coordination. Seeing someone juggle for example. I spent a year or more trying to learn, and I was as crap at the end as I was at the begining. Same goes for learning to play a musical instrument.

Maybe you just haven't found your "thing" yet.
Lord knows I'm completely uncoordinated - except for when I dance. And I only discoverd that this year.

I'm quite good at making stuff from metal, but I can't really have a forge until I buy a house.
Can't really do that sort of thing in a flat.

Well there you go then.
You have a thing, you just can't utilise it at the moment.
