I think #8 kinda sums it up for me. It's about finding happiness in the moment. You're alive right now; cherish whatever you can from the moment. Tomorrow is promised to no one, and we don't get a second chance to re-live today. Happiness can be found in some seemingly insignificant stuff: someone greeting you on your way to work; hearing an old song you haven't heard in ages; an unexpected call from an old friend; the weather; savouring a nice meal; a smile from a passerby. And you're right about having the right attitude--it is half the battle and it does affect our outlook on life and perception of things.

Good for you. Keep motivating yourself to see things differently. I have to keep reminding myself too.
