8 Simple Steps

The 8 Virtues

We all have heard and learned of the 7 virtues. I like the number 8 but there are many more wonderful virtues that can be added to the list, respect, honesty, integrity, dignity, tolerance, and loyalty for example. Create you own virtuous list and look to incorporate these wonderful vibes into our lives

Faith is belief in the Divine, in yourself and others. You deserve an excellent life Hope is having a positive view, in good outcomes. Expecting the best Love is caring for yourself and others with goodness, kindness, dignity, and respect.  In knowing the divine spirit in all of us Charity is giving of time, talents, energy, or money to help others  Fortitude is strength physically, emotionally, and morally, persistence, perseverance Justice is being fair and equitable, being reasonable Prudence is care and moderation in our thoughts and actions.  Balance in all things Temperance is moderation and abstinence from things, too much stuff, materialism. Less is more

Balance in All Things

Humility and Humbleness balance pride and too much ego
Kindness and Understanding balance envy and jealousy
Moderation and Respect balance gluttony in food and drink
Faithfulness and Gratitude balance lust and selfishness
Patience and Solitude balance anger and frustration
Abundance and Sharing balance greed and always wanting more
Passion and Joy balance sloth, laziness, and hopelessness  

Simply balancing our thoughts, words, and actions in life lead to a more peaceful, contented, joyful way of living.  Harmony and so it is.
