Life

Life. How is it that everybody has a different view of life? Some people think that their life is horrible? Yet they have such a privileged life. take for instance these people on TV that are on reality shows. They have millions of dollars, and do nothing but nothing, and still seem to be able to feel like there life sucks. Now contrast this to a person who has barely enough money to feed himself, they couldn't be happier.
I know this is very cliche but life is what you make of it. I know I don't always live up to that motto, but I wish I would take that outlook.
So what can people do to make life better. I think the first step is to realize what you do have and how lucky you are to even have that. Such as here in Montana, We have some of the most amazing geological features in the world, take for instance Glacier or Yellowstone national parks. Even though we are fortunate enough to have these things and other nice things like clean air, lots of fresh water, low crime, etc. we still seem to get upset by the small things. I am very guilty of this. I get upset that I have to sit at a red light for more then 2 seconds. If I was in a large city, that would make me happy that I was sitting at a red light and not sitting in traffic. Not to even mention that I have a car that runs and is reliable. So back to the original question. If people were to step back every once in a while and take a look how good life really is, I think people could maybe be just a bit happier.
