Incredibly underrated advice. Really REALLY good to keep this in mind.

EDIT: To all of you complaining about how bad your life is and how this advice is bad ... in reality, you guys need to follow this advice the most. Appreciations and perspective are key to getting through some rough times.

Thank you! So many comments missing the point of this advice.

For those in a shitty place, it’s not “thanks I’m cured”, it’s that things won’t get better in an instant, so you best keep yourself in as positive a state of mind as you can to create, recognize, and/or take advantage of a chance to improve your situation.

If you’re not in an objectively shitty place, then it can be taken as a simple reminder to appreciate what you have.

Exactly. Take an upvote, to protect you from the people who are giving you down votes. Along with a nice award if I can grab one for you.
