Counterbalance

If you are not happy with the life you are presently living, take a moment to make a sort of assessment. Make a mental list of what you don't like: it could be your job, your romantic situation, an apparent failure in a business enterprise, a loss, a disappointment, a back-stabbing friend.... Yes, these are upsetting experiences. Now, honestly, find some positive happenings that took place both in the far and near past. A wonderful friendship, a meaningful relationship, a successful activity, a situation where you were admired or praised for something you had done, a beautiful place or house you lived in. The memory of all the positive circumstances, the achievements, the satisfaction, the moments of utter happiness that - as every human being - you must have experienced one time or another, will counterbalance your present dissatisfaction. Not enough, you may say? Well, that depends on how you choose to view things. After all, the scales are in your hands.
