How different is my life with character strengths

My life is very different since I learned and practiced the character strengths since my first grade in high school, because the character strengths help me to do better my things like; playing soccer, be with my family, make people like me, have friends and have good grades. Before, I learned and practiced the character strengths I didn´t had; self-control, zest, optimism and I wasn´t honest, now with character strengths my life is happier and I haven´t had problems in a while.
