– stand up against people who you know will not agree with your choice.
– admit to yourself what you’ve been trying to deny/suppress.
– you need to have a good idea of your “theme” or song.
– you must be willing to admit the mistakes you’ve made.
– you must be willing to accept the mistakes that other people have made.
– you must be willing to forgive others for the hurt they’ve caused you.
– you must be willing to forgive yourself for what you’ve done.
