And borrowing from 11 Ways How To Live With Pride And Virtue (reliablelifestrategies.com)

(Quoting)

“1. Live in Alignment With Your Highest Goals. You have goals and dreams that you want to accomplish in your life, but how committed are you to reaching them?

2. Choose to Live a Virtuous Life. True virtue is pursuing your dream wholeheartedly despite the risk of defeat, embarrassment, and failure.

3. Appreciate More. Being selfish and self-absorbed, thinking we're more important than other people are signs of a disconnect with your authentic self.

4. Speak Your Truth. Speaking your truth takes courage. It’s all too easy to be part of a conversation and hold back on saying what you truly think and believe.

5. Stay Focused in Challenging Times. As you progress towards your goals you’ll inevitably come up against a series of challenges and setbacks.

6. Love and Respect Yourself

The ultimate virtue is to like and respect yourself. From that base comes all other virtues.”

LOVE WINS!!!
