If you’ve been dealt a bad hand, I understand. Even in the United States where equality is one of our chief values, inequality is still rampant. But focusing on what you don’t have or the bad hand you were dealt can actually make your life worse. What you think about affects who you become. It affects your relationships and the people you attract into your life. Keeping your focus on what you do have, what you have been given, and the good things in your life will make you happier and more grateful and will empower you to become a generous person yourself.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Brad Formsma" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/brad-formsma/i-realize-that-some-people-s-lives-are-harder-than-others-if-you-ve/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/73d/brad-formsma-87359_generous-person_i-realize-that-some-people-s-lives-are-h_1235015.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/73d/brad-formsma-87359_generous-person_i-realize-that-some-people-s-lives-are-h_1235015.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/73d/brad-formsma-87359_generous-person_i-realize-that-some-people-s-lives-are-h_1235015.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I realize that some people’s lives are harder than others.
