a patient for going through rough times and hold the chance to go on a trip against them. Count yourself a lucky duck for sure. Remember that you are lucky this whole trip. Let that be your mantra again and again instead of 'I don't deserve this'. Seems like a little thing but it can make a big difference to how you enjoy your trip. Then, having enjoyed your Hawaian vacation you can look back on the trip and daydream about it and say to yourself 'in some ways I am a lucky duck'. After daydreaming for a while your dreams morph into 'I would like to go body surfing in fiji next'. And see you never said to yourself that you didn't deserved fiji. You worked at a job you could handle in the long term and saved for fiji. And then you had enough to go and so you did. And all of a sudden you realised that by setting simple attainable goals your dreams could come true.
