5. Recognize the power of now.
While special events are easy to get excited about, there is joy to be had on an almost daily basis. It’s a mindset that you can learn if it doesn’t come naturally. When you are in any situation, look around and just focus on being happy that you’re there, happy to be alive and with the people you are with. Savor the setting you are in — note it, or even better speak it out loud. I am sure friends of mine get sick of me pointing out things like: “When is the next time we are all going to be together on a Wednesday night at 11pm, having fun, laughing together? The past is gone, the future is uncertain, but we know we have now, so let’s fire it up.”
