How to translate "希望し　努力し　感謝して生きる" into English?


A Japanese Drum (Taiko) band has a motto:

> 希望し 努力し 感謝して生きる

The band members have intellectual disabilities but strived to become
professional drummers. In a few weeks, they are going to France to play at a
cultural event for the disabled. They need to bring a business card with this
motto in English. I don't know how to translate it other than "We live our
lives by hoping, striving and appreciating" or "Our life is to hope, strive
and appreciate." Please help to do it better. Thank you.




I think just something like:

> HOPE  
>  EFFORT  
>  GRATITUDE

feels more like a club motto to me in English and captures the spirit of the
original. If you want it to read more like prose:

> Living life with hope, effort, and gratitude

could work. It really reads better in English with the する verbs rendered as
nouns rather than verbs IMO.
