It is the basic principle of looking at a glass half full or half empty. It is your outlook on life that determines your attitude. If you believe that everything has to come to you for free, you are setting yourself up for a big disappointment. You will spend a lot of time being angry because you will soon discover that nothing comes for free. Focusing on who you are and what you have will change your attitude and humble you.

Recognize what you have in life. Go out into nature and recognize the beauty of life. Pick up a flower, look at it and feel its grace.

There is also a great sense of depression because you cannot clearly see any opportunities or possibilities to move forward or improve your current state. If such opportunities present themselves, you doubt that they will be beneficial to you. These thoughts give way to various other thoughts that are of no productive consequence. Thoughts that life would have been better if you had been born into a wealthy family, or if you had attended a better school, do nothing to remedy your situation.
