When things go well in life, it is like a satisfying melody.  Everything seems to flow beautifully …  at least until it doesn’t.  Inevitably, change occurs and sometimes with that, challenges arise.  Life offers its share of ups and downs with challenges, big and small.  How we perceive these challenges and cope with them makes all the difference between a pleasant melody and one that is somber and heavy.

Here are three strategies for sustaining a pleasant melody in life.

1. Commit to making the best out of any given situation.

2. Adopt a perspective that serves you well in the moment and into the future.

3. Maintain an attitude of gratitude.

I believe that we all have the power to create the tone of our melodies.  Optimism and gratitude go a long way in keeping a joyful melody close at heart.
