- Question societal norms and authority figures, and be willing to rebel against unhealthy influences to live a purposeful life.
- Recognize the power of negative Nancies and their attempts to discourage progress, and choose to embrace wisdom and continue pursuing goals.
- Happiness is found in fulfilling one's purpose and embracing selflessness, rather than seeking fulfillment through material possessions.
