• Have you any old grudges you would like to pay,
  Any wrongs laid up from a bygone day?
  -Gather them now and lay them away
  When Christmas comes.
  Hard thoughts are heavy to carry, my friend,
  And life is short from beginning to end;
  Be kind to yourself, leave nothing to mend
  When Christmas comes.

• A man who is wrathful with us is a sick man; we must apply a plaster to his heart - love; we must treat him kindly, speak to him gently, lovingly. And if there is not deeply-rooted malice against us within him, but only a temporary fit of anger, you will see how his heart, or his malice, will melt away through your kindness and love - how good will conquer evil. A Christian must always be kind, gracious, and wise in order to conquer evil by good.

  John of Kronstadt

• Own the room. Confidence has nothing to do with what you look like. If you obsess over that, you'll end up being disappointed in yourself all the time. Instead, high self-esteem comes from how you feel in any moment. So walk into a room acting like you're in charge, and spend your energy on making the people around you happy. Giving confidence to others will come back to you and you'll end up feeling better about yourself.
