“Things turn out the best for people who make the best of the way things turn out. “ –John Wooden

When you're making the best of something you look at it from a different point of view than you normally would. For example if a family member passes away, to make the best of it is to remember the times that you had together when that person was still alive, and also to know that going through it is making you a stronger person inside. When you think like that all the time after a while you will notice things start getting better little by little. Then eventually things finally turn out better than you would have ever expected, because you have the upbeat attitude and are using that thought process of making the best of things. If you were to do it the other way and make the worst of things then because you're depressed you're not going to be active and try to do things which means you are going to get absolutely nowhere. Don't you think it would be better to get up get motivated and "make the best of things"?
