A lesson in perspective: next time you're having a pity-party about not having the latest gadget, imagine yourself in the context of having just lost everything that you value. You are suddenly unclothed and unrecognized (for reputation, friends, and family count here as well). You have no home (yours or otherwise) in which to sleep. You're ravaged with sickness.You literally have nothing.
Then, slowly open your eyes to what you do have. The trick is to name it--name it all. I have my memory. I have the ability to read. I have a job. I have cute feet. I have a meal to eat tonight. Forget always naming what you don't have.
Just start from rock bottom...and look up.
