Maintaining a positive relationship with your family members will give you a new found sense of happiness, hope and protection. After all, family is all we have in times of need. Don't lose them.

Lighten Up and Maintain a Positive Attitude

As the joker would say "Why so serious?" Life is too short to be frowning all the time. So no matter how poorly your day is going, just remember to smile and tell yourself that "it'll be okay." It might not solve the problem, but it will give you reassurance to keep fighting the battle.

Other times, you may be working too long or perhaps it's been a while since you've had a vacation. Give yourself the necessary amount of time to pamper yourself, as you deserve it! Spend a little bit more than you would on yourself and make sure to keep "you" happy.

Winning and Losing Isn't Everything

Life has its ups and downs. You win some, you lose some. All crazy luck aside, life is a constant battle of highs and lows. And so it's imperative to realize that winning and losing isn't everything. Is it important? Sure, but competition is appropriate only to a certain level. If it's peaks to the point where you're focused on competition, then you have a problem. Maintain a balanced perspective and take the good with the bad.

Don't Sweat the Little Things

The neighboring car next to you just cut you off in traffic; so what? Don't be bothered by the little things in life. If you allow these inconsequential events bother you, then you've already lost the battle.

Keeping your composure through these "little tests" in life is what gives a person certain qualities such as patience, sincerity, maturity, etc. Keep moving on with your life and do great things! Don't let these minor road blocks get in the way of your happiness.

Live in the Moment

All we have is now. The past is gone and the future hasn't arrived (nor is it guaranteed). Worrying about either for an extended period of time will do you no good. If you want to start enjoying your life, live in the present. Enjoy all that you have right now and enjoy it to the fullest. Whatever you do in the present, whether it's a task or something else, fully engulf yourself into that matter and do it to the best you can.
