You don’t realise how blessed you are until you see someone unfortunate than you.
A friend who had been to psychotic ward last month was describing various experience with various patients.
A 14 year old tried to take his own life 17 times.
Another person took 40 sleeping pills at once and nearly died.
When you see or hear about such cases you realise your life is far better than that.
Often we feel our sufferings are biggest in the world.
Stock market participants feel it’s end of the world when markets fall.
Though when you see sufferings of other bigger than you, you realise how blessed you are.
A mental hack I have practiced in past may help you. Count your 3 blessings everyday. It can be anything. The shelter you have. The networth you have. The obstacles you have overcome or anything you feel you are blessed with.
Recalling your blessings & feeling blessed kind of lifts the pressure lid off you.
Often, we might not realise that we are blessed beyond measure.
