Never ignore an opportunity

No matter how bad you feel and how difficult it is to get going – remember that any opportunity is a possible turn of fortune.

I made myself read it anyway – then I forced myself to spend at least an hour thinking / writing about as many people I could who are worse off than me.

There is a lot of people – from neighbours, to friends, to people in countries at war, people who have lost limbs, partners, children. Its a good excercise to do and gets ones mind off things.
