Model the values you want to bring to the world, and model them most when they’re missing—for this is when your conviction is most needed.
Be a stand for the good you see in people, and stand higher when they treat you with the worst in them—for this is when your light is most valuable.
Trust yourself, and your convictions. Trust the values your heart’s invested in. Trust them most when they’re missing.
Choose the world you believe in and choose it most firmly when it has slipped away from you.
Choose how you see people. Choose the qualities, traits, characteristics you see in them. Choose to believe in the good in them. And root yourself more deeply into your belief when people betray it.
You create the world you live in. Create it when it’s collapsing.
