I know this sounds cheesy, I wrote that last sentence to make you laugh.

The saying "what doesn't kill me now, makes me stronger" is so true, it's sad when people use it as an excuse. Unfortunately, this is one of those things where it can literally become a weapon against you. A lot of people who use it have some kind of advantage, be it financial, physical, or education. Using it puts you on the defense, making you look bad in front of others, which doesn't help your positive attitude or development.

Some would argue that money has everything, but I'm not so sure about that. It certainly gives you more options and a better lifestyle, but money alone isn't everything. Some people have a large amount of money but no positive feeling or life experience. Money does bring advantages, though, so if you lack the other elements of life, start with it.

If you think about the things in your life that are most important and why you love them, you'll likely feel much better about yourself and your situation. Not everything that makes you happy is a good thing, but you will be able to see what's important to you. This will give you something to work towards.

In your personal relationships, the key is to find time to truly appreciate each other. Start spending time doing things with each other that you enjoy. This could be going out to dinner or going for a movie on a Friday night. When you do this with someone special, you're likely to find that they're no longer just a friend, but someone that you genuinely get on with and can have a great relationship with. Enjoying someone is one of the best ways to appreciate the good things in life.

Your health can play a big part of how happy you are. This may not seem like a big thing, but it can be if you continue to ignore your health. Staying fit and healthy is incredibly important. If you're not happy about the way that you look, you're likely to turn to diet pills or exercise to make up for it. By having a positive attitude about your appearance, you can turn around and start appreciating the good things in your life. Instead of putting yourself down because of what you don't have, you can start to appreciate the good things in your life.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that there's more to love than to hate. We often live in a world where people are judged by what they have and judge them by what they don't have. If you're constantly looking for the negatives in life, you'll never really have enough to fill it. Instead of looking at the negatives and thinking that you'll never find anything good in life, start looking at the positives. The only way you'll find true happiness and contentment is to start appreciating the good things in life.


Instead of wasting your whole life working hard to get a fortune, spend that time appreciating the good things in your life instead. Work hard and play hard, but never forget to give thanks for the things that you have now. You'll definitely need them in the future. Start being thankful today so you can enjoy the future.
