Things like confidence, love, discipline, generosity, health, etc…

I’m of the opinion that in this world, you get what you give. Also, I believe that these types of qualities do not come easily to some people (like myself) and need to be consciously considered and practiced.

So what say you dopers? What little things do you do that help cultivate these good qualities? Also, feel free to share any relevant links or sources of information you have used.

Thanks!
