There is nothing like knowing how bad things can be to heighten recognition of how much better they have become. But for you to be blessed with the best  you don't have to start with the worst.Whenever we are not feeling at our best, we become hypersensitive to people's attitudes. Some minor remark, which might otherwise go straight over our heads, gets interpreted as a harsh criticism. Some task, that might otherwise prove simple, turns into a daunting mountain. Once that happens, we feel even less at our best than we did before and thus we overreact yet more to the next incursion. Yet it only takes a small, positive development for everything to change.
