It's easy to let the negative parts of life overwhelm you. The key in fighting this is to keep looking forward, not backward. Life has a funny way of surprising you and even if all your problems aren't solved immediately, a fresh perspective and outlook on the future can go a long way.

In life it's far too easy to assume that everything good happens immediately. It feels like good things can only be good if they arrive precisely when we first think about it. In a world where everything comes fast, be it emails, dvd rentals or breakfast burritos, we seem to expect everything that way. Safe to say, the mega-big stuff in life takes a little while, but we can't forget the small gifts we receive on a daily basis. Again, it's just enough to make a day better or ease a certain degree of frustration.
