How often do you have to remind yourself that a lot of people have it a lot worse?

Oh I remind myself that every single day, sometimes twice a day. It is how I make it from one day to the next.

Never, I know how blessed I am.  My Doctor prayed with me, first time, in my entire life.  Doesn't get much better than that. 

lots of times

Doctor? Uh, ok. 

It is really just mind games. They say don't compare yourself to others better than you, yet they say think of the others worse than you. We shouldn't have to compare ourselves to anyone to feel ok.

Yes it was a real blessing. 

I never really thought of it like that but what you say does make sense.

While that perspective is a good one to keep in mind it has little immediate bearing on any particular adverse situation one might face. 

Never, I see them everyday.
