sit back and think about how blessed you are to be able to do these exact things compared to others, you will always have gratitude in your heart. Come with thankfulness and you’ll always be smiling.
5. Keep Life Simple
Let’s not front, sometimes we tend to make our lives harder than they need to be. No one said you “needed” that $200 handbag, now weeks later, you’re having to choose between paying your light bill or cable bill.
If you live by the mantra, “Take only what you need, leave the rest to someone else in need,” you’ll start seeing the upside to a lot more things other than what’s the latest purse you’re wearing. When in doubt, just keep it simple.

6. Be Contagious
Once you do find that balance of everyday struggles and start seeing the brighter side of things, share it with every stranger, friend and family member you come across.
Spreading the love will not only bring that personal happiness but will in turn keep your spirits high too. Tell someone they’re shining today. Let a person know if they motivate you to do better. Be love. Share love.
