In my language, we often say an imperative phrase that literally translates to "look down". It means we must see / remember that there are always people below us who are not as lucky as us, thus we should be grateful.

How do we say that in English? Is there a short phrase for that? I often hear in movies that they use the phrase "you should be grateful", but I need the other phrase that emphasizes I'm more lucky than anyone else below me.

Maybe "Count your blessings", which implies "Even though you don't think your situation is great, you should be thankful that it isn't worse."
