Modesty

Modesty is a sense of quiet confidence and self respect, which allows us to enjoy our accomplishment without inflating our self importance. We do not brag or attract attention. We know we are worthy of who we are. We have a sense of respect and privacy for our bodies. We have reasonable expectations for our selves. We resist the drive to overdo We share the glory with others We are grateful for the gifts we have and we honour the gifts that others have.

Gentleness

Love towards ppeople and the world around us. This is the desire not to harm anyone or anything. It is safe in the presence of gentleness. It takes strength to call on the self control that gentleness requires , particularly when we feel angry or hurt. Being gentle with ourselves helps us to be more forgiving and kind to others. Gentleness is moving wisely, touching softly, speeaking quietly and thinking kindly. This nurtures our souls.

OPENNESS

Openness is being honest,clear and sincere, sharing who we are and what we feel without pretense. It is the willingness to embrace new ideas and listen to others with an open mind. We hold no hidden agendas and connect with others instead of controlling them. We listen to others' feelings with compassionate curiosity. When we open up, we are receptive to the blessings and surprises of life.

Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts. Aristotle
