one should have inner spirit that could help one to continue life. one should not shine away from hiccups ..face them and learn to rebuild your own spirit.
there is no one in this world without any problems.. hundreds and millions of woman all over the world envied lady diana ... but ... believe me your life could be better than her
do not compare your life standards with the high mighty but with one who is equivalent to you.
i am a middle class earner, i use a normal phone, my computer provides me with the service i require, my house gives me shed over my head, my television allows me to watch my favourite programe
why should i be wanting .. the latest brand telephone, a highly branded computer, a palace,do i need home theatre...
look at the ones below you ... have you seen an award winning photo of a kid in africa trying to drink from the urinal of a cow because there was no water ...
help your self .. rebuild your character .. rebrand your needs and start to enjoy what you have rater than worry not having what you do not need

What wonderful ideas are coming to myLot through our newbies! We welcome you.
As our life circumstances change, so do we. Most of us don't consciously reinvent ourselves, as someone like Madonna does, but it happens slowly. We learn new things and get new understandings. The importance of something in particular may change from first on our lists to last.
I have a lot of health problems, and every time doctors tell me I'm not going to make it, I tell them I'm going to prove differently, and I do. I must say, every time I have a close call, which is usually about twice a year I gain a somewhat different perspective on a lot of things, and life becomes increasingly wonderful to me. Because my medical bills are so high, even with good insurance, I can no longer afford many things that I used to think were really important, and I've discovered they weren't important at all.
Life goes on and changes our outlooks all the time.

Pity or sympathy -- no need. I'm probably the happiest person I know. My point was just that, whether positive or negative, things happen life that change us. We can quite easily (in hindsight) overcome the bad breaks, and move on to the best of all.
You'll see -- it doesn't require anything magical or phony. We change constantly. It only stops when we die.

Thank you for the "best response". Don't forget, we can reinvent ourselves any time and every way we can. If you don't really love your life, changee it!

Those are very catchy words today, rebranding and rebilding oneself-but looking at you post deply, I realize you have really given very critical insight to life here-the inner spiit must be kept alive, lest we lose everything in the end, especially the element of personal innovation.

In a world that is driven and fueld by envy and greed, it is so nice to hear someone speak like you just have. If only more people would take your words to heart and live by them. Thank you for sharing this view!!

I do agree with a lot of what you're saying. I do believe we need to think about what we have and count our blessings. We should look around us and appreciate more of what we have in life like family and friends.

friends are mostly your own choice .. if you do not want someone you actually do not have to pretend that you like them or otherwise. it is your very own choice but when it comes to family ...
especially in-laws .. you are not left with any choice but to pretend .. just adjust your life .. i know some things they say to me hurts & painful but what can you do .. divorce your husband because of them ?
i have learned to adjust my life acordingly.. I am a manager and people treat me like a boss in my working place. when i walk into restaurants they pull my chair .. when i walk around clients they wish me good morning miss ..
but when i am at my in laws .. they think i am stupid ..stupid .. & stupid .. well .. i pretend stupid .. and I end up being happy and they are happy that i am stupid
