Do not be weak, do not be hateful, and do not be scared.
Be strong, loving, forgiving, and brave.
This are some ways to be maybe.
Be Virtuous.
“When in doubt, be virtuous, and be excellent.”
Why is so much of everything you see and hear nowadays designed to make you or make you feel weak, hateful, scared, unloving, unforgiving, contemptful, and selfish?
Because you are so incredibly strong when you are strong, loving, courageous, loving, forgiving, and selfless.
When you are strong, when you are brave, when you are virtuous and focused – you can accomplish great things and a great many things, in even just a day or hour or less.
It takes a moment to be good and to do a good deed(s), that shows someone else some good maybe, and maybe inspires them to do good.
And imagine if more people good and did good deeds.
All it takes is one, it starts with one to stand up or to do a good thing, it just takes one’s virtue to inspire virtue in others.
Be that virtue that inspires others, be that light in others’ lives that inspires them to be light up others’ lives in turn.
Be good, be virtuous, and do the right thing.
Be strong, loving, forgiving, and courageous.
Do these things and see how you feel, attempt these things, and decide to do them maybe.
It is not where you are right now, but where you are attempting to go.
It is not necessarily about if you cannot do these things right now, it is about whether you are trying to do these things or not.
“Heroes are not born (or maybe they are), they are made by trying to be heroes.”
Try to be good, and do good.
Be good, be virtuous, and do the right thing.
Be strong, loving, forgiving, and courageous.
