Count your blessings: Express gratitude for what you have and also by conveying your appretiation towards others.

"6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is a root of all [kinds of] evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (1Timothy 6:6-10 NKJV)

 

 

Encourage optimism: Think about the future in a positive way. Practice seeing the bright side in every situation.

"2 Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy.

Commit to your goals. Pick one or more significant goal and devote time and effort to achieve them.

"13 Look here, you people who say, "Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit."

14 How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog�"�"it`s here a little while, then it`s gone.

"14 Try to live in peace with everyone, and seek to live a clean and holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.
