Put it in Perspective

When you know people who have lived through real tragedies and have suffered in situations that are so awful it makes you want to cringe, when you really talk to them about their stories suddenly all these petty things you’re holding on to like maybe you hate work, or school is hard, or someone was rude to you, or someone cut you off, or you had to walk in the rain, or your holding a grudge about something you shouldn’t, or you don’t have enough money to get that thing you want, all those things kind of fade away. Some people have truly suffered in their lifetimes and the most amazing thing about them is when you hear their story, they never sound like they are complaining about what happened to them, its just a part of them and their story is how they are overcoming it.  Victory is not when your circumstance changes, it’s when your heart changes.
