With all the doubts, loneliness, fear, and life hitches we all deal with everyday, we are to choose the right thoughts for that is the only problem we have to resolve. Our mental attitude towards life could probably be explained in this quote from an anonymous person, "the mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven." Basically, nothing can bring us peace and happiness but ourselves, and that would be realized when we find out on our own how beautiful life is despite sinful cravings and temptations that follow us. An observation made in practical psychology tells us that "action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together". In other words, though we cannot instantly change our emotions just by "setting up our minds to it", changing our actions would do.

There are some good pointers in bringing ourselves to peace and happiness. First, think and act cheerfully, and you will feel cheerful. Fighting for our happiness can be achieved through, perhaps, following a daily program of joyful and constructive thinking. Second is, never try to get even with our enemies because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Just like what General Eisenhower said, never waste a minute thinking of people we do not like. And as what the Bible says, "love your enemies, do good to them that hate you". Third, instead of worrying about ingratitude, just expect it. The way to happiness is not to expect something in return for the things we do to others, but to give for the joy of giving. Next is to count your blessings and not your troubles. All the days of our living years we have been riding this roller coaster of life, but we have been too blind to see the beauty of the ride along the way. Also, finding ourselves and being ourselves would help bring us peace and happiness. Further, when life hands us a lemon, let's try to make lemonade out of it. Let's profit out of our losses. This makes us feel life triumphant. Lastly, forget our own unhappiness. This could be through creating little happiness for others. When we do good things to them, we are being the best to ourselves.

The principles in achieving a happy and peaceful life are way better than just keeping a frown on your face to live your life. Sharing happiness with other people will definitely give you a wonderful hint in being a victorious life challenger.
