Yes, that's key - it's temporary! Also I think it's important to not let the "pile on" thoughts linger. Say your car gets a flat tire then your Sister calls to say she can't deliver the cake she was going to drop off for your friend's birthday (whatever the case may be).
Sometimes it's easy to think of it as a pile of items being put upon you. Much better to realize they are individual items that can each be dealt with.
If you start thinking of them as all these "things that happen to you, it's never ending" then it becomes a way of life almost, almost a victim mentality and that can be very negative.
Stuff happens, it's not your "life" it's just stuff.
I think on the flipside, how often do you see people say, wow I won $2 on my lottery ticket and the coffee I bought is like the best coffee ever and my Sister is bringing home cake, I'm so happy my car is so reliable, wow my life is going good!
Works both ways!
