2. Let go of grudges & past failures
3. Say "no" when necessary/stand up for themselves
4. Don't allow themselves to get sucked into other people's bullshit & drama
5. Are genuinely happy about the success of others

- The health problems you don't have
- The debt you avoid
- The desires you don't indulge
A good life's not about gaining. It's about letting go.
