It’s easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it’s easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.

It’s easy to see the negative, but every person has something great about them. Develop a habit of looking for the good.

Keep doing the right thing. God is building character in you, and you are passing that test. Remember, the greater the struggle, the greater the reward.

Little acts of kindness help keep the relationship together. Spend your energy honoring each other, overlooking offenses, believing the best.

Look back on past accomplishments and victories and draw inspiration from them. Stay focused on encouraging thoughts – thoughts of hope and thoughts of faith.

Make up your mind that no matter what comes your way, no matter how difficult, no matter how unfair, you will do more than simply survive. You will thrive in spite of it.
