I...

Believe: in karmic justice and divine intervention. I see small miracles and blessings in disguise everywhere I look. This philosophy is difficult to apply to the world at large (the picture is too big to grasp from our tiny human perspectives, or else I'm sure it would make sense there as well), but it works just fine in day to day life.

Think: You only get as much good out of the world as you are willing to put into it. If you take care of your responsibilities, the rest will take care of itself. Do the best you can do and if it's meant to be, it will be.

Understand: the world by trying to recreate it. If I'm hung up on a character type, it will reappear until I get it right. When the character is believable, when people say to me, "that is a person and not a caricature," then I understand it and I can put it into my repertoire and maybe not use it so much.

Try: to be a better person, every single day.

...Wow, that sounded so damn idealistic. Let's see if I still feel the same way in a few years.
