There will always be rough spots in life. One way we've learned to deal with some of these is to change our perspective. Being a poor college student and going hungry every once in awhile isn't so bad when you remember that some don't have a paycheck to look forward to; a time when one gets to eat like a king and order from Pizza Hut rather than get Little Ceasar's.
Changing attitude is a miraculous fix to much of life problems. In doing so I hope that people take caution in minimizing their struggles. Benefits abound when challenges come but we may disservice ourselves by playing it off, saying, "This isn't as serious as that problem some person halfway around the world has".
No.
Your problem is serious to you because it's in your life and it's your problem. Thinking around the great looming rock in your path by saying that someone else doesn't have this rock doesn't get rid of the rock. Now it may appear smaller when you change your attitude, but the rock is still there and for some, no matter how small it may appear, the weight still presses down.
And when you amass for yourself more boulders than you can count you may downplay your accomplishment when standing upon the mountain of your achievement.
Ok, if you spilled the coffee you just bought then obviously it won't be time to cry. But if that were the straw that broke the camels back don't think poorly of yourself. Life is hard.
