Do not strive to be "nice" nor strive to get ahead~
Strive to "Be" who and what YOU always were but have forgotten, strive to remember!

The point here about
being who you are is a critical one I think. It's not just a philosophical exercise.
We do what we feel is right in that moment. We have to live with ourselves and be in accord with our own inner guidance.
If some do not appreciate your kindness, you are not wrong in your orientation to life, the universe, & everything. The crowd at large is not the definitive measure of your worth or your beliefs. Only you are, and you know better than they ;)
However you can always choose to direct your energies away from some situations and toward others.
peace & blessings,
