Problems Are Relative
When humans encounter a whale, they are in awe of its massive size and weight. Rightfully so.
Relative to the other creatures of the sea, the whale is the largest and heaviest animal known to exist.
However, compared to the size of the ocean which covers over 70% of the world’s surface,
a whale takes up but a fragment of space. This is much like it is with the problems you are faced with.
Your difficulties may seem enormous when compared to other aspects of your life.
Yet, if you could relate them to the troubles facing the world, your problems would seem minuscule.
Put things into perspective. Realize that no matter what you are going through it could be far worse.
Deal with things as best you can without
making troubles bigger than they really are. (S Finelli)
