The harder your life is, the more effort you need to put in to improve your life. The more uncontrollable and unfortunate events happen in your life, the more conscious effort and deliberate energy you need to dedicate to get better. People by default believe that they would get help when they face traumatic event and taken care of when they become victims of an unforeseeable circumstances. But, the hard truth is that those people who are experiencing trauma and pain in life are the ones who must muster strength and faith to work harder to see a positive change in their lives. Your struggle to live a life of hope and faith exponentially increases depending on the negative situation you are in.
Comparing with people who are having smooth phase of their lives would not resolve your issues and trauma in life. We will never know what is going on in others lives. A very rich person as be hated by own family or may be suffering from an untreatable illness or may have betrayed by own people. A person who does not have a lot money may still be doing a nice job providing for their family leading a healthy lifestyle.
All of us go through rough patches in our life and everyone has their own demons inside them. Our issues may subjectively look smaller or bigger compared to what others are going through. Having gratitude for what we have in life would enable us to objectively assess the situation and do the best we could do with what we have and where ever we are.
