You've got three million things to moan about, and one hundred things to be glad about...

Do you ever feel like you've got nowhere to go? Things spinning out of control? We've all had days/months/years like this, when things aren't so good and we become bitter and jealous about what others have. But, the truth is...life isn't as bad as you think it is. Everybody goes through these patches, this is what life is all about...ups and downs. We all wish for that little bit extra money...that new car...health...love, we all covert what our friends possess but is this really necessary. If we take our time to take a step back and survey our lives for what they really are, then the chances are they aren't as bad as you originally thought. The grass might be greener next door, but what happens behind locked doors is anybodies guess. You might have no money in your pocket...but the bills are paid and the cupboards full...work is long and hard...but there's that holiday booked. Its true that every cloud does have a silver lining and while things often seem stacked against us, sometimes things happen for a reason. So your meal is cold...your love has pushed you away...your team has lost...your computer has crashed, instead of focusing on the negative take a look and focus on the positive instead. You have a family who love and care for you...friends to laugh with...new boundaries to achieve...new goals to set...good health. Life isn't so bad once you take stock, and while it has ups and downs sometimes its better to be grateful for what we have than it is to bemoan what we don't.
