When a person finds himself in difficulty he realizes that he doesn't control his own destiny. He doesn't rule over his own life, but is given over to external forces over which he has no control. In contrast, when a person is feeling success, he is happy and fully sated, he often errs and feels that he is in control. If he even shows the slightest humility he feels it is a great accomplishment.
The reality is that specifically the time when a person feels he has everything is the time to realize the truth - that he has nothing. A person with true understanding comprehends that even if superficially it appears to others that he has it all, he understands to himself that this is simply untrue.
For a homeless person begging in the street it is easy to understand that he has nothing. But for someone sitting comfortable in his home, full of blessing and success, it is a much greater challenge to embrace the truth.
