This belongs on a different thread, but what the heck. Might sound dumb or silly, but it kinda works.

First of all, think of something you really want to achieve or get. It must be something possible to do or get, and you must know what you might need to do in order to get it. You can't say something like "I'd like to be able to fly", because that's impossible, but you could say something like "I'd like to learn how to fly an airplane", because it's possible and because you sort of know what you need to do.

Now, with that thought in mind, make up a little sentence that summorizes that wish. It must be short and easy to memorize. With the example above, a good sentence would be "To fly an airplane". Make sure you memorize it, and don't tell it to anyone, at least not yet.

You'll keep that sentence in your mind like a small mantra and will repeat to yourself in two key moments: when something really good happens to you, and when something really bad happens to you. Whenever you feel like something good has happened to you, it dosen't matter how small, mentally repeat to yourself that sentence whenever you're in a quite place or in a relaxed situation. Whenever something bad happens to you, something that makes you feel down or depressed, you also gotta mentally repeat that sentence to yourself.

Sound silly I know, but it worked for me and for others.
