Words like compassion, kindness, and concern have an interesting commonality—they’re all action words. That means that empathy isn’t passive—it requires mindful action.

Are you facing an insurmountable obstacle? Don’t prepare for defeat. Put your shoulder against that obstacle! Be resilient—part of the soft skill of adaptability—and keep steppin’.

Your talents, perspective and wisdom are one of a kind. Don’t give yourself away. Prune away situationships where you hide the real you. Trade them for rewarding relationships by using the soft skill of smart judgment.
Being genuine seems like the obvious choice—until you stumble across parts of yourself you may not like much. You might think glossing over those parts is the only way out, but there’s a better option: See what needs to change and keep a sense of humor about whatever isn’t quite Instagram-ready. Claim clarity as your ally.
There's nothing like the feeling of accomplishment—the, “Hey! I did that!” moment—to boost healthy self-confidence. But don’t let a rewarding moment be a one-off. Claim whatever makes you feel strong and self-assured and make it part of your essence, wherever you are.
