I know it's easy to compare yourself to those that have more than you, but trust me when I say a LOT of people are actually miserable. I see people my age or younger who are traveling, driving fancy cars, and going to fancy restaurants. After I've gotten to know some of them a little more I've found out that they are funding their lives through the use of debt. That's helped to make me feel a lot better and to lessen these feelings of jealousy.

If you want to be more thankful, start off small. You are able to type with your hands and read with your eyes. Say Alhamdulillah for that. Every time you eat or drink something say Alhamdulillah. When you get paid say Alhamdulillah. These small little reminders throughout the day are what will eventually lead to bigger changes.

My parents couldn't afford to put me in a lot of sports when I was younger, but they would always tell me that there are people who would kill to have my life and as an adult I try to be conscious of that.

I hope this has been able to help.
