Anger arises as a result of a weakened spirit. The strong spirit is resolute. 3. Those that strengthen the spirit: Meditation, deep breaths, cleaning the room, music, reading, singing, video games, television and movies (no, really). 4. Those that weaken the spirit: Hatred, impatience, jealousy. 5. Under no circumstances try to weaken another's spirit. If possible, strengthen theirs. 6. If it can be done, DO IT. Otherwise, DON'T SWEAT IT. 7. Enjoy the little things. REMEMBER - IT CAN GET MUCH WORSE THAN THIS. 8. Do not hold grudges. However, it is acceptable to isolate yourself from those who would do you harm - but ONLY from those who would do you harm. 9. Surround yourself with friends and allies. Aid them in their lives so that they may aid you. 10. Strive to be a better person - but do not change yourself merely to gain another's acceptance. 11. Honor the truth whenever possible. 12. Stand firm in your values. 13. Learn from the past. Use the present to position yourself for a better future.
