I'm not where I should be in my career, I thought I would be making more money by now, things didn't turn out as I planned, I still don't know what I want to do with my life,  I haven't met the right person yet, I should have gone left not right....

When you feel a sense of lack, give.  Give because you have something to give.  Give because generosity of spirit is the richest kind.  Give because you can.

Shift the focus away from you, and give to someone else.  Feel happy for someone else's good fortune, help a friend to make a decision (if she asks!), pass on a resume for a friend, write a thank you card, stop to give some coins to the busker in the subway station.  The temporarily dimmed flame in your heart will grow a little brighter, you'll feel a little warmer, and hey, it is starting to get cold outside!
