I go back to this paragraph, and its viewpoint on life, time and time again. I hope it can help you as it has me.
From A Path with Heart, by Jack Kornfield:
"A traditional skillful (and at times humorous) reflection can be used to change our relationship to difficulties....
Picture or imagine that this earth is filled with Buddhas, that every single being you encounter is enlightened, except one - yourself! Imagine that they are all here to teach you. Whoever you encounter is acting as they do solely for your benefit, to provide just the teachings and difficulties you need in order to awaken.
Sense what lessons they offer to you. Inwardly thank them for this. Throughout a day or week continue to develop the image of enlightened teachers all around you. Notice how it changes your whole perspective on life."
