We all feel this way sometimes. Life is picking on us. We seem to not have the energy to fight back.
Years ago I learned a valuable lesson. I worked near a place that hired disabled workers. These workers had various disabilities. After one horrible day at work, which had culminated a horrible week at work I was headed home and I drove by the bus stop that these workers congregated at waiting for the bus to take them home. And I noticed that each of them had the biggest grin on their face. They ALL seemed happy. Of course I had seen them before and as I reflected on it, they always looked so happy.
These were people that had either incurred or were born with issues that hampered their bodies, minds and senses. THEY had it rough, not me and yet they were dealing with life's issues waaaay better than I was. It made me ashamed to be feeling sorry for myself knowing that my obstacles were imaginary.
Remember the following photo next time you have a bad game, strike out or are worrying about recovering from a minor ACL tear. You still got it pretty good, you control your destiny and there ain't nothin' in front of you that hard work cannot cure!
