As a woman, the following virtues help define who I am. Grace - unchanging demeanor and attitude when faced with adversity. Acceptance - welcoming things as they are, and receiving that which is good warmly, and that which is bad without penalty. Integrity - maintaining all principles and commitments, and changing them only according to reason. Wisdom - I know I know nothing, can allow others to disagree with me, and will change my mind on a given point when better information is found. Discernment - the ability to determine what is changeable, what is unchangeable, what should or shouldnt be changed, and all points in between. Friendliness - The ability to engage others, to make them feel connected, validated, and supported, without reservation. Tactfulness - The ability to interpret, relay, and convey information in a way that is appropriate for the situation. Gratitude - I will appreciate things that are given to me out of kindness and compassion, with recognition of what this gesture means, and without consideration of entitlement on my behalf. These are the things I wish to focus on and develop in myself. Does anyone else have their own set?
