We always tend to look at what others have that we don't.  How about looking at what we have that others don't?  

There was once a great religious preacher of Islam in Iran.  He was very poor.  Once he had no shoes to wear and no money to buy them.  Without shoes, while walking, his feet used to burn and pebbles bruised his feet.  He was always in discomfort.

One day he went to a mosque at Kufa for prayers and saw at the entrance a man with both his legs amputated.  When he pondered over that man's helplessness, his eyes opened.

He thanked God, "O God, how kind of you!  You have kept my two legs safe!"
