Someone sent a letter to R’ Matisyahu Luria zt”l, in which he complained about all the hardships he was going through.

R’ Matisyahu replied: “If a person would put everything that he should be thankful for on one side of a scale, and on the other side, his frustrations and pain, the good will far outweigh the bad. He will laugh at himself for making an issue over his troubles, since there is so much blessing in his life.”
