Anyone ever ask you that question. So, speaking honestly, without ego or expectations of a much higher rating, who are you? Funny thing, the best descriptives come from others, not you. Ask someone to fill in the blank for you and see what happens.
If "nice" is your only expression, you are missing "honesty". God can help in those places where we are at a loss for words. Speak to Him before you speak to someone else.

Yes you can, with the help of God. He is a constant source of hope and power. Leaving God out of the conversation will keep you stuck in a place you'd rather not be.
