When you get to feeling down on yourself and your life, take a visit to a nursing home, cancer ward, cemetery, orphanage, unemployment line or soup kitchen and see how good you really have it.
Most of us don't know the real meaning of suffering. We think in terms of not getting our short term desires or wants satisfied, and think we have it bad. That nothing is going right for us, and we always seem to get the bad hand.
When your mind starts wandering in this direction and you get to feeling depressed because of what you don't have, where you aren't and what you haven't accomplished, start thinking on how much worse it could be. Hopefully this will get your mind refocused on appreciating what you have; your health, your mind, your job and your family.
