I swear by these.

Live.
Each step will not go as you had planned.
Make the most of what you have. Adjust.
There will be extreme ups and abysmal downs.
Treat them both the same.
Some things will pull you down bad and optimism will not help.
Live through it. Face reality. You don't need a joke, you need an inspiration. You don't need joy, you need strength. Generate it.
Toughen up, don't harden up. Don't miss out on the finer emotions in life. Love; laugh; sing and dance. But have the courage to get through a heartbreak.
Strengthen your will power.
The only person who will remain with you throughout will be you. Make sure you keep yourself fit - both physically and mentally.
What you feed your brain is what it feeds you. Cut down on the junk. That goes for the food too.
Do what you love. As long as it affects no one else adversely. You have only one life. Follow your heart. But give your mind the emergency break control.
Let go of your fears and mental blocks.
Let go of your anxiety.
There is always something to worry about, something causing despair. Choose to ignore it 8 out of 10 times. Don't balance emotions; bias them.
Just let go.
Just


Live.
