Pay as much attention to the things that are working positively in your life as you do to the things that give you trouble.
When starting out, don't worry about not having enough money. Limited funds are a blessing, not a curse. Nothing encourages creative thinking in quite the same way.
Don't think you can relax yourself to happiness. Happiness comes as a result of doing.
Dishonesty is like a boomerang. About the time you think all is well, it hits you in the back of the head.
