Our problems could be so small / myLot

Sometimes, when I have a problem, I feel like it is the worst nightmare on earth. I feel that I don't have luck on my side and that everything is going to anarchy. But after I calm down, I realise how ridiculous and small my problem is. No matter how hard it is to solve that problem, I remember that I have my family with me, that I am healthy, that I have a roof on top of my head, that I have a warm meal every day on the table...etc. All those are the things that matter. Everything else should come second. When I see the refugees crossing seas for safety. People who have lost everything back home. Then I realise how lucky I am. How my problems are ridiculous.

so well written! I realize now that problems in one's life are just the consequences of your perspective towards life. Change your perspective and you will find your life changed for the good!

You can say most of the problems that occur in our life yes.

One popular writer quoted: "There is a solution to every problem and an answer to every need!" I think he is right. But there is always an exception problem. Example: My wife can never dress up in less than 2 hours! We will be late again to church this Christmas.

hahaha! I don't think there will be ever a solution to that particular one. But if it makes you feel any better, you are not alone in that one lol

My thoughts are like that too most of the time. I feel so bad and so unlucky but if I remember and look closely someone out there has bigger than problem than me. They call it as downward comparison. If I use upward comparison I will just be depressed. Downward comparison makes me feel better and lucky.

Yeah always think that it could get worse, then you will feel better about the current problem you are having. And it won't appear that bad

I think it happens with most of us. Our problem seem the largest at times, only to realize later that things are not that bad with us.
