A cheerful heart does not need to have it all, but been full of gratitude from the little he has gotten.

It's not what life thrown at you that matters, but what you do with what was thrown at you.

The mold of life could be use as a steps to reach your destiny place if well molded into a staircase to climb to the top.

When disadvantages comes  your way just called it "This Advantage" and continue to see it so. Life can only comes to an end for the dead, but for the living  you must "lift up your eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh  your help. Your help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth". Psalm 121 (Paraphrase)

Gratitude is a way to reach our altitude in life.

 Learn to show gratitude at all time, as you do, you're creating more room for more. Cheerfulness is Contagious, learn to wear on a cheerful face, someone is being motivated and get lifted from their moody state. Learn to have more by giving more, in this you get attracted to a happy life.

We are smiling because "the Lord is our strength and we can do all things through Christ that strengthen us".
