"I have learned to be content in whatever state I am. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Philippians 4:11-13

How do you stay positive?

I don't recommend drawing your positivity from some external source; you then become dependent on it for your positivity. e.g. If music is your happy place, does going deaf or getting tinnitus terminally ruin your mood?

Remaining "grounded" is probably a nice way of saying that you choose some attachments that you do consider worth making; and ideally, these should be ones that also help you find your positivity.
