LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: adopt a positive attitude, see the positive aspects of a difficult situation
To PUNCH ABOVE ONE'S WEIGHT is to do better than expected based on one's condition or ability
To MOVE THE NEEDLE on (or for) something is to cause a positive change in something (or in the measurement of something), typically something that has been unchanged for a long time.
A GAME OF CHICKEN is a conflict situation in which each side raises the danger level, hoping that the other side will be afraid and back down
