They say comparison is the thief of joy. But this shows that it can actually be the instigator of joy, if you use it differently.

Another thing I like to try is to imagine that this thing that sucks is actually for my benefit. And remind myself that I don't know how this thing I wouldn't have chosen could be the thing that transforms me and my life into something beautiful and better than had I not experienced it.

I know it can seem a little glass half-full, but hey - if I'm gonna have a glass it may as well be half-full, ya know?

Love it; and yes, saying thank you, and using what sucks as a resource for your benefit. Sounds great to me. Thanks for sharing
