In the peaks and valleys of life, it can be difficult to maintain a positive attitude, especially when you are busy, drained, or surrounded by negativity. Chaplain Samples shares ten ways, grounded in a biblical perspective, you can use to make your days (and you) more joyful.

View Problems as Opportunities

How you view problems may be even more important than how you handle them.

 

Decide to Have Fun

When life is hard, having fun might be the last thing on your mind, but it might just be the best thing for your attitude!

 

Decide to Laugh

Laughter is good medicine! Here's a poem to encourage some laughs.

 

Decide to Not Make Things Worse

Choose Happiness

Decide to Take Responsibility for Yourself
