Do not use your troubles or your hardships as an excuse for not having a good time. You do not have to take life seriously. Nobody is forcing you not relax when things are going tough.

In the book
Carry yourself, too, like someone who expects to prevail — standing straight and proud, the bearing of a victor rather than the defeated, quietly changes how the world meets you. Yet never so grimly that you forget to enjoy it: do not use your hardships as an excuse to stop living well, because nobody is forcing you to take it all so seriously. And hold, finally, the wisest line our tradition has on effort and outcome. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
