Why can I hardly ever realise how amazing my life is?

It is because all human beings tend to compare our average or under average life events with highlights of other's life events. For example, let's suppose that you go to the sea and swim a lot. Then you see on Facebook that someone else went to even farther place on the sea and on his Picture they are hugging with their friend. You start to compare your most lonely, most miserable moment of your vacation (for example, that it was when you were stuck in a queue on the country border) with their highlights (hug on a romantic site on a distant place). You don't take into account that they maybe are no longer hugging and that they might be about to lose contact with each other... You only see this higlight Picture. And it is valid for all life events - we tend to see higlights of others and misery of ours. And it is very sad.

I think a lot of people don't realise how amazing life is meaning down to think about past experiences and how these experiences may effect there future thinking like this to much well leave a person eather always in the past or thinking of the future and never stoping to think how life is right now living in the present moment and taking in the wonderful life we have been gifted. The past no longer excesses and the future is not here yet and in order to be happy in the future when it arives is to realise how it is right now in the present moment not tomarow or in an hour right now

I think in today's society it is easy for us to get caught up in the work wind of the media. We should instead take time out of our day, even just a few minutes to think about what we have achieved, what made us smile, what we are grateful for. If you do this often enough you will quickly start to realise the amazing parts of your life. While there will almost always be the not so great parts, we can use these experiences to better our lives in the future. Life is an amazing concept and should always be treated with respect.

Because we tend to always compare our life to others and what we fantasize "life" to actually be. It is those moments when we have hit rock bottom or have had everything stripped from us when we truly realize that just even having our ability to breathe and being able to sleep in a bed along with a great meal are all things that contribute to an "amazing" life, although we tend to compare life to others and constantly think that we are not where we should be or want to be because it is not matching the lifestyles of others or what we perceive other lifestyles to be.
