Getting Beyond Our Circumstances

While the Apostle Paul sat in prison in Rome he penned these words to the church at Philippi:

"Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel, ..."

I'm just wondering how one goes about getting beyond circumstances enough to see imprisonment as advantageous to the gospel rather than the obvious personal discomfort and deprivation he was suffering. That's so foreign to us in our "me first" world and way of thinking, isn't it?
