Courage and Righteousness

Work on building up your courage. Do the right thing always, not just when it’s convenient for you. Stand up for the little guy. Stop others when they are gossiping. Go against the grain, against the status quo, and against what is popular if you feel that it is incorrect. 

All of this takes courage. It can be difficult to disagree with others, especially with your family, friends, or co-workers. Sometimes it’s easier just letting it go, but easier is not better.
