Gratitude helps the author in both good and bad times by keeping them aware of positive things and allowing them to express thanks. Honesty and authenticity guide the author to live genuinely without pretense. Perseverance means the author works diligently to complete tasks and finish projects, which provides satisfaction. These key strengths are relied on often and aid the author's mental, emotional, and behavioral health.
