I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making’ a life.

For fast-acting relief, try slowing down.

Glad you’re alive!
Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.

You create your own problems
Well this seems oddly unmotivating does it? But wait!
The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.
Eckhart Tolle
I know that quoting Tolle always causes a bit of an argument or at least controversy, but he is right about this (at least).
Situations alone are just facts. What you make out of it is the only variable. You chose how your inner world looks like. Some people tend to see problems and nuisances wherever they look, others see opportunities and experiences.
Look out for the latter!

Obstacles?
Rocks on the Road? Store them all, one day you will build a castle.
It’s all about attitude! What is an obstacle for the pessimist is an opportunity for the optimist.

Let’s be grateful
Grateful for my sore muscles today; it means my body is healthy and strong enough to endure physical challenges.
Grateful for my slight headache today; it means I have an abundance of friends with whom I make beatiful memories.
Grateful for the stacks of work in front if me; it means I am capable of being productive and earning a living.
Grateful for the blazing sun today; it means I can feel warmth on my skin, light in my eyes and thus, I am alive.
There is always something to be grateful for. Even things that seem to be negative on first sight, might turn out in a much better way than expected.
Learn to see the good things about everything, it is one of the skills that actually matter.

Some sports motivation
Definitely also applicable in other parts of your life:
Lose as if you like it; win as if you were used to it.

Judgement
People will judge you according to your own convictions.

Time is (more than) money
One realizes the full importance of time only when there is little of it left. Every man’s greatest capital asset is his unexpired years of productive life.

Chose wisely
Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.
