How do YOU stay motivated to keep that positive drive and outlook on life alive?

With the job market and economy struggling, from a career search perspective how do YOU stay motivated to keep that positive drive and outlook on life alive?

Well, I have found that through help there is hope. By help, I do NOT mean receiving and waiting on someone to help me. I mean giving of myself and helping others. Yes, you can actually receive motivation and maintain a positive outlook on life just by engaging with and helping others.
The late theologian and philosopher, Albert Schweitzer was quoted to say, “Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.” He also quotes, “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”
You see the level of knowledge, gifts, talent, skills and bandwidth that we all have is for a reason and not by mistake. So embrace the package you have been given throughout your life and keep on giving and helping others. Yeah I’m out of a job right now and the end of severance is drawing near, and my consulting business that I just started, (DNA Leadership Consulting Group, LLC. - http://www.dnalcg.com/) is not being flooded by accounts and contracts just yet. But I have decided that my career status and the level of success with my consulting practice will not control my outlook on hope and promise.
Therefore, until I land my next job and until I win my next account, I will continue to strengthen my package and deliver and share it whenever and wherever I can, so that I WILL stay motivated and keep my positive drive and outlook alive.
So again I ask. How do YOU stay motivated to keep that positive drive and outlook on life alive?
