Difficult to imagine managing life’s busy, challenging, unrelenting tasks without a positive outlook.

Never complain.
Never feel sorry for yourself.
Work hard. Stay focused. Have as much fun as you can while doing it all.
It will not slow down until we die.

Life is hard.
For everyone.
Even the ones that seem immune.

They are just using all they have to do as you suggest.
