People will sometimes ask, "What about trying circumstances? How can we keep happy in them, whether they be past, present, or future?" Well, a good piece of general advice is to welcome the circumstances as you would welcome either a strong opponent or a contest handicap — that is, as a privilege, and an occasion for bringing out "one's best game." Then, Turn Your Mind to Blessings, or think of your own blessings, not only in the past, but also the present. Think of all the conveniences of civilization. Contrast the hardships of a century ago — with no internet, no air-conditioners, no washing machines, and frequent back breaking labor. Think of today’s blessings and keep happy. Think also of the blessings of friends or family. Anything is better than giving attention to your supposed injuries, hardships, and sorrows, and resenting or bemoaning them.
