Look at those who stand lower level than you

[2. Surah Al-Baqarah : Ayah 43]
And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and bow down with those who bow down.

[Sahih Muslim : Book 42 "Kitab Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqa'iq", Number 7068]
Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: "When one of you looks at one who stands at a higher level than you in regard to wealth and physical structure he should also see one who stands at a lower level than you in regard to these things (in which he stands) at a hi-her level (as compared to him)."

[Sahih Muslim : Book 42 "Kitab Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqa'iq", Number 7070]
Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: "Look at those who stand at a lower level than you but don't look at those who stand at a higher level than you, for this would make the favours (conferred upon you by Allah) insignificant (in your eyes). Abu Mu'awiya said: Upon you."
