People often don't give credit to all the good things they have in their Life, they spend too much time and energy thinking about the bad things they have or the good things they don't have.
Putting more of I and I thoughts and concentration on the good things doesn't mean I and I should ignore the bad. I and I should be aware of the bad things so that we fix it if it can be fixed, and if it can't be changed than it should be accepted, and then thought about to see if anything can be done to adapt to the situation to make it better.
It is alright to feel bad about something for a time and you shouldn't necessarily block those feelings, but sometimes certain things are not worth enough to allow yourself to be affected by it, and when it is serious enough, then spend some time to feel down about it, but know when that time should be finished and take steps to remove yourself from it.
Remembering and exalting the good will bring your mindset to a point where you are able to feel sad about something for a time and then break free and trod forward. The bad feeling might arise again from time to time, but never taking you over and never lingering too long.
Some people might think that nothing is good in their Life. That is usually because they have put their attention on the bad and don't see the good. Most people in the world can look around and find somebody that is worse off then them, so if somebody is worse off, then their must be something good in their Life that they can rise up in their mind.
I don't think people should look at others who are worse off to feel better about their situation, they should instead pay closer attention to their own life and recognize the good things when they come, so that they can extend the good times during the moment, and extend the remembrance and thinking about the good times afterwards. But some people have gone so far away from noticing the good, that the only way they can see it is to look at somebody around them or in the world who is worse off, so they can pick out the good things in their life that they didn't pay attention to before.
