[It depends on your mindset]
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things.
There is always a resolution to put into practice.
It means not being swayed by trivial things.
― John Burroghs

Little things can add up and ruin your day: a leaky faucet, you left home with the wrong socks, you ran out of milk in the fridge, you realized you ran out of gas while driving, weeds grew a foot tall in the yard, you forgot to thaw dinner.
But whether these little things ruin your day or not depends on your mindset.
It is not easy to always live generously.
But if you take a step back, you realize that these little things are nothing to worry about.

'Take a deep breath and tell yourself that even though the little things in life can be annoying, you don't need to let them bother you.'


[It'll be okay, it'll be okay]
Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter.
Who would not think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.
Sometimes fate seems like a fruit tree in winter.
There is no one who does not think that green leaves will sprout and flowers will bloom on that branch again.
Yet, we hope in our hearts that it will be so, and we know that it will be so.

― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

When life gets tough, it can feel like nothing will ever change or get better.
If you are stuck in this kind of despair, the possibility of making and executing a plan for change becomes even more distant.
Look back on the path you have lived so far.
There were good times and difficult times.
Haven't we all persevered through these difficult times and overcome them, and things have improved?
There may have been times when time was a medicine, but it was because I was striving for a better life and greater happiness.

'My life is full of twists and turns.
Even if I'm going through a difficult time today or this week, I know it won't last forever, and I'll get through it.'


[A pledge to raise myself]
People don't just get upset.
They contribute to their upsetness.
Anger doesn't just come out of nowhere.
You are contributing to the growing anger.

― Albert Ellis

As we live, we experience countless things, but when we look into it, it is often not the unintentional events that cause us to get angry, but rather our attitude toward those events.
When something bad happens, they complain and fidget as if the situation will never get better.
But in the same situation, some people say, 'What a disaster.
But I think, 'I can do this well.'
Even in the same situation, you may want to accept it positively or deny it with pessimism.
There is nothing we can do about things that happen in life that are not what we intended, but it is up to us to decide how we will deal with them.

'It would be nice if everything went my way, but I can't just sit back and wait for it to happen.
I must never forget that I already possess the essential ability to cultivate my life.'


Change your perspective
When I hear somebody sigh that life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'
Whenever someone sighs that life is hard, I always want to ask them this:
'Compared to what?'
― Sydney J.
Harris Sydney J.
Harris

We always compare ourselves to those who are richer, smarter, happier, better looking, and more prestigious than us.
‘Why can’t I live in a nice house like them?’, ‘Why can’t I get my abilities properly recognized?’, ‘Why can’t I find true love?’… … .
When you envy others like this, you end up forgetting how much others envy you.
There are many people in the world who envy my job, the house I live in, and the freedom I enjoy.
It's things I thought were insignificant, but when I hear others envy me, I realize, 'I'm pretty good at this.'

'I must look back on all the blessings I have been given and live with gratitude for everything that has been given to me in my life.'
