"When times are good, be grateful, and when times are tough, be graceful."- Dustin Poirier.

I think it is best we learn to see the glass as half full and half empty whenever it is presented with something inside, and when there is nothing, we should just call it empty waiting to be filled.
The nature of man tends him towards wanting to always see the glass of milk full before they say they are taken care of or that they are doing okay. Doing just fine is what many live in despite showing up a false image of having it all.
You must learn to be grateful for the best moments of your life and live it with an understanding that, you are thankful for all you have got.
You should also learn to be grateful when you find yourself in a shithole or that tight spot where maneuvering just seems impossible or way out of sight.
Learn your process and let that process of learning stick with you every time and whenever you find yourself failing, you should not fret or cry or give up, just be grateful so your head is held up high and your tears stifled.
Happy is the man that knows how to be thankful for the little things and then live through life being graceful whenever the tides takes a different turn.
Being graceful will open you up for a grateful season which is always waiting after every fail.
