The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.

Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing.

I spend a few minutes in meditation and prayer each morning. I find that this really helps me to start the day with a good frame of reference. As part of my prayers, I thank whoever is helping me - I'm sure that somebody or something is - I express gratitude for all my blessings and try to forgive the people that I'm feeling negative toward. I try hard not to judge anyone, and I try to bless everyone who is part of my life, particularly anyone with whom I am having any problems.
When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.
