The emphasis is on his lot

The emphasis is on his lot. The mishnah does not mean simply "he who is happy with what he has," but "he who is happy with what he has worked for." The truly wealthy person has earned his portion. He has invested of his time, his toil, his very life. Thus, it is truly his.
