Easier said than done, some may say, to turn your disadvantage into an advantage.
But after reading some of the sad posts in this forum, I must encourage all of us to try this.
Those people with seemingly great lives or great situations in their lives, may also be in situations that could potentially be detrimental to them.
Similarly for those of us who think that we are in miserable situations, try to look at the positive side.
For example, if we are short of money, look at it from the view that we have nothing to lose. If we are alone or lonely, look at it from the view that we have no commitments, burdens, worries, bargaining chips for our enemies, etc.
