These include having a humble perspective, being grateful, seizing my own personal power, self-reflecting, stepping out of my comfort zone, finding direction and purpose, having a strong work ethic, overcoming obstacles, making tough decisions, nurturing social connections, unlocking the heart, and achieving peace within.
