Think on the Good It's the Devil who tries to get us to unfavorably compare ourselves to others. The Lord tells us that we shouldn't think about those negative things at all: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8). Whether abounding or abasing, we should be thankful for whatever we've got (Philippians 4:11-12). "Let every thing that has breath praise the Lord" (Psalm 150:6). "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits" (Psalm 103:2). We could all praise the Lord more and be more positive. Thank God for the health you do have. Thank God that you're not completely incapacitated. All kinds of things could be wrong with you, so thank the Lord for the blessings you do have. Stay positive, thankful, and full of praise to Jesus!
