Not only do I think it's not cliched, I also find this thought a great help whenever I feel down. It's been tough for the last few months, but whenever I feel that I'm not to happy about how things are going, I think that I might have ended up dead (or, worse, starving) in a ditch in Congo, had I not been as lucky as I am. I have a place to live, and I have some money, and I'm, well, alive. And when I put these thoughts together, things don't seem as bleak anymore.
