"As the warm water flows over my body, I force myself to think of the times in my life when I didn’t have hot water on demand. I remember the stories that my son told me about the hot water being turned off in Russia for a month every summer. It still is, as far as I know. I think about the millions of people around the world who still don’t have hot water and would love to be in my place at this exact moment.
In the shower, every morning, I force myself to remember that happiness does not come from getting what you want — it comes from wanting what you have."
