Mattie's guide to being happy, kind, and Christlike.

Always be optimistic.
Just smile. 
Thank everyone. 
Don't forget to be kind. 
Never make someone feel bad for doing something nice when the time isn't ideal for them (or you). 
Xylophones are fun to mess around on. If you get a chance, do it! 
Hey, wait! Don't forget to be patient! That's important. 
Respect others, even if you disagree with what they are doing/believe in. It's their decision/belief. Not yours. 
Be available. If someone needs to talk, and they turn to you, listen. They came to you because they trust you. 
Love everyone. Someone may not have someone to love them, and someone may feel unloved. Don't let them feel like they don't have someone who loves them, and don't let them feel unloved. 

To sum up: Be optimistic, be happy, be grateful, be kind, be compassionate, be fun, be patient, be respectful, be available, and be loving. :)

This world is going to get a whole lot worse before it ever gets better—though I'm not sure that it is going to get better—so it's important to remember that we are all people. We all have problems and we all make mistakes. If everyone was just kind to everyone, and wasn't mean to each other, all of our problems would be over. So be kind. Even if no one else is. Be respectful. Even if they're not. Smile. You could make someone's day. Just be as Christlike and compassionate as you possibly can. You'll be blessed. :)
