Life can be a drag. Sometimes, you have to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and pull through. Life will rarely go the way we intend, but that doesn't mean we can't learn to enjoy where we're planted. Life has its seasons of rises and dips. It will always be up and down, but there are two ways to make yourself happier.

First, be grateful for the good things that do happen.

Second, realize that in every dip, there's something to learn to make you a better person. The more we focus on the positive and train our minds to see life in a positive light, the more good we can interpret.

There is always some level of good if you look hard enough. Things may be tough right now, but someone always has it worse. You are lucky to be here.
