Standing by itself, the word radiates
quiet confidence. It exudes
strength. Humility is self-confidence
without arrogance. Humility is
modesty and restraint without the
destructive effects of out-sied
hubris. Humility is courage. It is
the willingness to admit mista!es
and see! out guidance. Humility is
self-res"ect without excessive self-
"romotion. Humility is the trium"h of com"etence over bravado. Humility is not wea! or mee!. It
does not mean shy or insecure. It is not being timid, reserved, reticent, or diffident. Humility is
authenticity. Humility is self-awareness. It is recogniing one#s strengths and limitations. It is the
ability to say, I don#t !now. It is quite sim"ly the willingness to "ut others first.
It is im"ortant so that there will be:
a reduction of anxiety, fear and de"ression, in conflict, anger and aggression.
an increase in ha""iness and well-being, in o"timism.
an im"rovement in friendshi" and intimate relationshi"s, o"enness for new ex"eriences and
new learning, greater em"athy, com"assion and altruism and higher $ob satisfaction and morale
at wor!.
%o "ractice humility, we&

everything you do

best at everything

It means than!fulness, counting your blessings, noticing sim"le "leasures, and ac!nowledging
everything that you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle,
and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you#ve been given. It shifts your focus fromwhat your life lac!s to the abundance that is already "resent. In addition, behavioral and
"sychological research has shown the sur"rising life im"rovements that can stem from the
"ractice of gratitude. 'iving than!s ma!es "eo"le ha""ier and more resilient, it strengthens
relationshi"s, it im"roves health, and it reduces stress. (f all the universal themes that have
been transmitted through "erennial wisdom, the ex"ression of gratitude continues to be the glue
that consistently holds society and relationshi"s together) its o""osite * ingratitude * contributes
to societal dissolution and se"aration. %he ex"ression of gratitude is essential to human!ind#s
sustainability and survival. Its stabiliing and healing effects, which have been researched frommulti"le stand"oints+cultural, "sychological, "hysical, s"iritual, even financial+have made it
abundantly clear that the benefits of living a grateful life are irrefutable.
It is im"ortant because&
it allows us to celebrate the "resent, bloc!s toxic, negative emotions, is more stress
resistant and has a higher sense of self-worth.

If you identify something or
someone with a negative
trait, switch it in your mind
to a "ositive trait.
Honesty is being truthful and sincere. It is im"ortant because it builds trust. hen "eo"le are
honest, they can be relied on not to lie, cheat or steal. eing honest means that you acce"t
yourself as you are. hen you are o"en and trustworthy, others can believe in you. Honesty is
not mere o"timism. %he honest "erson is not one who tells the truth at all moments because
they are too stu"id or thin! that truth will magically ma!e everything easy. /or is it mere legalism
or fear of "unishment that ma!es someone truly honest. 0ather, the honest "erson is in love
with the truth.
It is im"ortant to be honest because&
we build strength of character that will allow us to be of great service to 'od and to others.
If you#re never honest with anyone then nobody will ever trust you. eing honest is not only
for others, but with yourself is
always a good thing.

4cce"t the consequence and decide to face
them.
Sincerity is defined as& sim"licity, "urity, na5vet6,
veracity, a way to ex"ress oneself free of "retense. It
is the absence of "retence, deceit, or hy"ocrisy. 4
sincere "erson is the one that ex"resses himself without deceitfulness, in a truthful and genuine
way, that does not "retend. It means without deceit or reservation, that one truly believes in the
truth and im"ortance of what one is saying. %he o""osite of this quality is to "retend something
that one really does not feel, for exam"le, to say something to "lease others when we really do
not feel it. Sincere is about a genuine agenda, where one#s actions matches ones words and
even motives or intentions. Sincere is honesty from the heart. In being sincere, a "erson should
assess his or her dee"est, true feelings about every as"ect of the situation in question, and
res"ond to the questioner in a com"lete, calm, direct, earnest way.
It is im"ortant because&
7eo"le who are "erceived as being sincere in their manner and words generally have an
easier time getting others to believe in them and to trust ideas or "lans they want to
im"lement.
%o "ractice sincerity, we should&

when in the "resence of others.

It is the consideration of the
consequences of one#s actions and

"rovidence by virtue of "lanning
"rudently for the future. 7erce"tion of
the significance and nature of events

It cares in "roviding for the future,

which is the act of loo!ing forward. It is
the act or "ower of foreseeing,
"rescience, fore!nowledge, "rovident
care and "rudence in guardian. 9oresight is the ability to identify, res"ond to, and recover from the
initial indications that an incident could ta!e "lace. It involves the ability to recognie "otential ris!s,
in order to intervene. 9oresight involves rightly ordering human acts to the right end. 4n inordinate
love of self will cause certain alternatives to have greater a""eal, but these alternatives :means; will
not necessarily lead to the right end. 4 "rudent man sees that, but the im"rudent do not. 4nd if they

8iscernment is
the act or "rocess of exhibitin

understand or com"rehend,
and evaluate clearly. It means
we can see the true nature of
things and the quality of
discernment allows us to
distinguish between what is
real and what is fa!e.
Sometimes, discernment
begins with intuition and is that voice inside of us that urges a "articular direction or action.

more imbalance in your life. Instead, ma!e small changes by rectifying each sli" into

(bedience is the moral virtue that
inclines the will to com"ly with the
will of another who has the right to
command. It is a virtue that
teaches us to be humble. %he
s"irit of obedience hel"s us to
shed our ego and our "ride. %he
duty of obedience requires all to
give due honor to authority and to
treat those who are charged to
exercise it with res"ect, and,
insofar as it is deserved, with
gratitude and good-will.

"ay reverence. a gesture indicative of dee" res"ect) an obeisance, bow, or curtsy. 0everence
means a res"ectful, submissive attitude of mind resulting in affection and esteem for the "erson to
which it is directed. Hence children reverence their "arents, wives reverence their husbands,
sub$ects reverence their sovereign, and all must reverence 'od. 0everence is a very im"ortant
character regarding how we relate to both 'od and others. 0everence has more of the meaning of
worshi", and "ertains to 'od.
It is im"ortant because&
ithout a fundamental attitude of reverence, no true love, no $ustice, no !indliness, no self-
im"rovement, no "urity, no truthfulness, are "ossible) above all, without reverence, the
dimension of de"th is com"letely
excluded.
