Love your life
"Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. […] Show respect to all people and grovel to none." - Tecumseh. There's a lot to be said for being strong, for having courage, for standing up for (not against) something, for having the firmness of spirit to defend, the empathy of spirit to understand, the calmness of spirit to stand firm, the warmth of spirit to be compassionate, the willingness of spirit to compromise, the strength of spirit to admit when you're ignorant of something, mistaken, or unfair, and the courage of spirit to change when change is needed.
