Do's

Do one thing you fear every day. Courage is a beautiful thing and lifts us up like eagles.
Do it and do it afraid.
Laugh every day. If you can't laugh at yourself...find someone to make you laugh. Make someone else laugh. There is a man whom I admire greatly. He is a world spiritual and political leader. His life has been a life of great integrity, restraint, faith, and wisdom. Yet any interview you see with him shows him laughing constantly...without any bashfulness or shame. It does nothing to his credibility as a serious individual other than completely elevate it- because life is funny.
Live like him...his holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama.
Remain consistent.  Be who you genuinely are-everywhere. Do not change for circumstances, people, situations, or environments. That is not living a genuine and honest life. Do not alter who you are according to how you want certain populations to perceive you.
Do not hide.
Fall.  Take a chance. Fall in love. Fall out of love. Confide in someone. Trust someone. Get up and go. Stay in the quiet with yourself and think. Stay still. Move. Quit. Ask for a raise. Do the opposite of what brings you stagnation. Do it with respect for yourself and with respect for others. Do it unselfishlessly.
Do it in love.
