First you have to accept that you're not always going to be happy and you'll tire yourself out trying...part of life is the ups and downs and don't you notice how you seem to learn the most from the downs? Having a positive general outlook on life is just knowing that there will be downs but they always lead up and when things don't go your way its just another phase of life.

well for one we all have one life, but the important thing is to make the most of that one life that we've got. remain positive and stay focused. when things do go wrong or not in the way you expect it to be, rather than dismiss it altogether just do your very best with that opportunity. it's better to have tried, rather than to have not tried at all. there is always light at the end of the tunnel, when there's dark, there's also light and with light there is also hope too. do the things you've always loved and all the things you've always wanted to do. make a list of all the things you want to achieve and when you look back and reflect on it, 10 or 20 years or more from then on, you can say to yourself you have achieved what you have set out to do. remember, happiness comes from within yourself, as opposed to other people- yes you have your friends and family, but it is just as important to remain as true to yourself as much as possible and to remind yourself of who you are and the type of human being you are

If you don't expect anything then you won't be disappointed. Also, realize that you don't have control over everything, when you make a conscious effort to not worry about things you have no control over (give unto the Lord, if you please), then it will be a great weight off of your shoulders. Once you have made that decision and live your life that way, when things happen, you'll just say to yourself, "ok, what do I have to do to fix this" or "I took a chance, and it wasn't my turn to win". I hope this helps.

Think positive, very positive. Life is short, things can't be exactly the way we want or need, or people can't be. I always think that there are many things in life I can enjoy. I'll have another opportunity to make my dream true, or I can go to create it or look for it. Be happy!

maybe they are not expected to be as the way they appear....maybe changing or adjusting small things could have more impact than big things in life..sometimes its good to adjust ,your life or certain part of your personality, ...and you cant be happy all the time...its ok, to pass a school of hard life also ,without that life wouldnt mean much and it would be constantly same thing

In order to be happy, you must be perfectly at ease with yourself. You must content within yourself. If you are, then it is easy to maintain that happiness. Happiness always comes from within.
One can maintain happiness even in the face of disappointment. When adversity presents itself, the happy person will face it, conquer it, fix it, accept it and move on.

Let go of the outcome. Remain with your intention of what you want.
