“Expectations have gotten so out whack that many people see only what they’re missing, not what they have. As one person I interviewed put it so beautifully, We have to remember that the what if will always be more appealing than the what is. And if you get the what if, that will become the new what is, and the cycle continues.”
As cliche as it sounds, people need to learn to accept the good and the bad for what it is. Everyone becomes so focus orients on the things that they are missing, of the things they need and want. But they also need to humble themselves. We are blessed with so much as it is – we need to take a moment out of our days of want, and reflect on what we already do have, and how awesome we are in what we’ve already achieved
