Instead of looking at life this way:
"Circumstances have gifted me this coffee mug, it broke, and I lost it."

Start looking at it this way;
"Circumstances have gifted me this coffee mug, it broke, and hence got returned to Circumstances."

By knowing that the things I possess/adore/love have an expiration date, I am preparing myself to the possibility that I may, one day, lose the people/things I love.

And that will only make me treasure them more.
