While it may seem at times as though we have it really hard, we have to remember that the Holy Prophet (S) and the first of those who accepted him as the Messenger had it far, far harder than we do today. They suffered hunger, thirst, poverty and ridicule but it was their fortitude, trust in Allah and their faith which helped to safeguard the message of Islam, which has reached us today due to their blessings. As a sidenote, it is imperative to recognize that many of those in other parts of the world, like Yemen, are suffering similarly to the initial Muslims! What are we doing to help them?
