Slowly becoming a better person

Life circumstances keep trying me. As soon as I think I am on my feet, financially, emotionally, or relationship-wise, something new happens to force me to reconsider. Although this is a function of living, I keep getting caught up in the inequity of the circumstances in my life compared to those of the people around me. I need to get over that. Perhaps, I am being tried because I have such great potential. Yes! This is a much more optimistic view than things are unfair. In most novels, the heroine must pass a trial of sorts. My trial is composed of many small apparent inequities. The current goal is to see these as opportunities instead of inequities.
