How to cope with negativity

Self-awareness is unique to human beings.But unfortunately human beings have a habit of comparing their happiness with those around them like friends, relatives or colleagues. We constantly bother that other people are living a more fulfilled lives.
We have to realise that we are in a much better condition than those who are struggling to have even the basic needs of life.
Dissatisfaction or constant nagging destroys the little happiness which we can get in each moment of life-holiday anywhere and you wonder if you should have gone elsewhere, buy three out of eight clothes you like while shopping and you fret later about not choosing the others.  
Dissatisfaction is a part of human nature, once we understand this, we can cope better with our own dissatisfaction.
I have gone through a bad phase in my life due to my illness, my sister asked that how are you passing your painful period and i replied " the same way  i have had done if this illness would have not been there". If i would have felt"why me?" then this frame of mind would have worsened my condition, so analyse and understand how to cope with negativity.
Although money is necessary but it cannot guarantee to give you happiness. Many people think that if they have "name, fame and wealth" they are the  happiest people in the world  but this is very unfortunate for them to think so.

We constantly crave for more, in our race to get more and more we forget to enjoy what we have and instead we become dissatisfied and we start comparing our lives with others. Thinking always about our previous sorrows makes us feel all the more unhappy and hence we don't live our present to the fullest.
