Be nice.

Be nice. Be kind. Be gentle.

At first you will stand out like a 7-foot-tall Hobbit. But sooner or later, once this behavior has fully been integrated into each nerve and every fiber of your body, it becomes you. All personality, character begins by an action. An action repeated then becomes a behavior. That behavior later on turns into a habit. And if you have to choose between being nothing and being nice, be nice every time.

Have standards and if those standards are not met, be angry. Be very angry that you begin to appear fuming. Stand up for something, something that you believe in on the soul level.

For a long time I have been a pessimistic person. Cowardly, having been raised with the teaching that it's not okay to react, that it's better to remain silent.

Be proactive.
