Or you can try to be a part of the bigger picture. Don't ask what the world can do for you and ask what you can do for it. Think about what you bring to the table as one of God's creatures. Think about how you make the world a better place. Find this way that you can make the world a better place and suddenly I promise you everything will seem a little less important. In the words of Elwood Blues, you'll be on a mission from God and petty, stupid things will seem like just that, petty and stupid. You'll find the humility to feel ok without the cards falling your way. You'll have the grace to admit fault and move on.
In Victor Frankel's Man's Search for Meaning, the author notes the strong and smart didn't survive concentration camps, but those who felt they had something to give the world. That knowledge provided a fortress of human dignity that degradation and brutality could not overcome. If meaning is powerful enough to get someone through the Holocaust, just think what it could do for you.
Little things seem big under a microscope. Look through a telescope and things seem a lot different.
