We were meant to live for so much more, we lost ourselves

I just got this in an email, and I usually read it and don't pass anything on or care about it, but I really liked what this man said.
"No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems: If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is "my problem, my issues, my pain." But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others."

This caught my eye because so many people think that when something bad happens, that it attracts more bad things, and they suddenly think everything surrounded by them is bad. But that's not true... because no matter what, there will always be something great in your life. And sometimes just knowing that there is something to look forward to and live for, is all that keeps them living. So, know that there is always going to be something wrong, but there will always be something right, at the same time. Having something to deal with all the time is good... because if everything is perfect... what's the point in anything. I just wish anyone struggling with their life would know that. Because I know if I didn't know what I knew today, I would want to know that :] It's not like anyone reading this is dealing with that problem... at least I don't think... Well... if you are... just know that... :D
