Take a moment every day to feel grateful for all of the good things you have in your life. If you have good health, a roof over your head, parents and family who love you, a job to pay your bills, an education or ambition. Good food to eat. A car to drive, clothing on your back. Computers, internet, iphones, gyms to go to. Imagine the teeming masses of suffering humanity who don't have the things you take for granted. Take a moment to appreciate what you have. If you believe in a higher power, take a moment to send thanks for you blessings. Enjoy your life and find you happiness in the things that are good in your life. We are living in the best time in history so far, let's not take it for granted.

.......yeah it's hard but I will try to remember that. Thank you for your advice and words of motivation.

It's true. Culture wise we are definitely not at our high point, but to anybody who complains how bad we have it today, I say try living in the Middle Ages. THAT was a bad time.

Amen.

It's all about what you choose to focus on. If you don't think you have anything to be grateful for, try losing something you currently take for granted and then getting it back. Suddenly your world will seem blissful even though you're exactly where you started.

A few years ago I moped around a lot about how much my life "sucked." Then I wrecked my car. Afterward I was just as mopey except that I had something new to be mopey about. When I finally got my car fixed, I was on cloud 9 because I had transportation again. Even though I was in the same exact position I was in before I wrecked my car. Except now I appreciated what I had.
