Perspective:
Do you always look at life from the same point-of-view?
Consider viewing a situation as another might view it.
Look from behind, underneath, from the distant heavens.

race, or nationality might view it.
Pretend you are an alien from a distant galaxy -
that should be good for a laugh.
Troubles only appear troubling to those close to them.

Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair."
Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
