Start with radical self-acceptance. Look in the mirror and say, “This is what I’ve got, and it’s plenty.” Next, practice generosity without seeking applause. Donate one book, one meal, or one hour of your time—then do not post about it.
Finally, develop a fortress of humor. When life gets ugly, ask yourself: What would Dolly say? She’d probably laugh, adjust her wig, and say, “Honey, this too shall pass—preferably with glitter on it.”
