Can't enjoy the nice bubble you've worked hard to create for your family because everywhere you look you see friends and strangers in the pits. That's hard. I'm reading Chris Wilson's The Master Plan. He was black kid from DC caught in the game. Shot and killed a guy that was jumping him. Chris was 17 and this was the 90s--superpredators and tough on crime--so he got life in jail. It's difficult to read, but he talks about incorporating positive delusions. Starting with an endgame in mind and not listening to anyone, especially yourself, when it came to visualizing and working towards it. I doubt some paragraphs will do much to change your despondency at the sheer number of starfish out there. But the book is something else.
