Practice humility and gratitude
Making the most of a bad situation is a good thing, but so is making the most of a good situation. When we have it good it is very easy to become complacent. It’s also very easy to think ‘this won’t last forever’. That’s why putting your focus on enjoying the current moment is so important, whether that moment is ‘good’ or ‘bad’.
We have so much to be thankful for. That we exist is a miracle. That I can write this on a supercomputer that fits in my hand and then send it all over the world.
That’s insane.
Sure, things might not be ideal. And they may not be what we pictured at all. But they are what they are, and we have to remember to be grateful that they are in the first place. That’s called making the most of a good situation.
