"One of the sanest, surest and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others" -A Rutledge

I sometimes have trouble following this recommendation. Instead of praising the good fortune of others I think "why them and not me?". This tends to be mainly related to weight. Why did they end up skinny and beautiful and I am fat? Why? Why do they get to be happy and I get depression? Why? Why? Why?

 

Today I am going to focus on being happy for the good fortune of others, and not focussing on why I don't have what they have.
