Answer 1

Be persistent, relentless, and unwavering. Every day, do something that scares you.

These don't have to be big. The gestures can be small. They will become big. The behaviors you force will become the attitude you naturally have. :-)

Wave to a neighbor. Smile at the grocery store clerk. Speak up and ask someone for directions, even if you know where you are going. Look someone in the eye across the restaurant. Just make little, meaningful connections every moment of every day, and suddenly it becomes a habit. Suddenly, those habits will become your life.
