Improve your inner nature by encouraging positive qualities

You can improve on all aspects of your inner nature by cultivating various qualities within yourself. By meditating on the image of God within and having faith in the eternal hereafter you can elevate your spiritual state and you will naturally have more of a tendency toward serenity, even-mindedness, self-control, honesty and forgiveness. You can increase your leadership abilities by persevering in the face of obstacles and abandoning your fears in favor of courage, resourcefulness, vigor, being resolute and applying all of these with the necessary endurance. Even if you find yourself unable to muster any of these spiritual or leadership skills you can always do whatever work you are inclined to do with an attitude of service toward others and always acting in a way that benefits those around you. When you do your work in that way you are really worshiping the omnipresent creator of all beings and will, therefore, reap the benefits of all those other qualities. Remember, it is better to do the work that comes naturally to you, however imperfectly, than it is to try to be someone you are not, even if you get praised for it. You will not suffer inner conflict if you do work that is your natural calling.
