Here some things that could cheer you up.

What seems important today won't matter tomorrow.
You got a problem. Sleep on it. Put it off. Most problems can be ignored safely. You'll be amazed how often they sort themselves out! The gravity of any given problem is inversely proportional to the hour of the day. At 3am you've got an insurmountable issue. After four whisky and cokes at 9pm, you haven't got an inkling of a problem! This only happened to me yesterday. I couldn't find the solution on how to hang two panels for an exhibition. Now I decided to put them between two workmates because of my neighbour.

Everybody else is improvising, so you can too.
Fake it 'till you make it, amigo. Fat, unemployed life-coach? Homeopathy professional? Whatever, bring it on!

Nobody thinks about you as much as you think about yourself.
Really, they don't. For example, I'm not thinking about you now. But I bet you are.

It's ok to piss people off.
But if you're pissing everybody off, at the same time, it's time to stop being a dick.

Nobody tells all the truth, all the time.
Lower your expectations of people. Men lie about alcohol consumption all the time. When you're young, say you've had sic beers, you've probably had three. Nowadays, if you say you had three, it's probably closer to six.

You're right as often as you're wrong.
So don't dwell on either.
