You forgot one… “love “. Without this primordial quality nothing else is possible.
To remain loyal to truth using such wonderful qualities is indeed worthy for one to strive for and maintain all throughout life; thank you for sharing that gem of a list with us.
Excellent!!!
This is a list everyone needs to read and refer to often! 
#9 and 13 are the ones have to keep working on the most. 
HUGS!!!
@Nostra_Damus - Like white light contains all the color bands…so love contains all the virtues worthwhile striving towards.
@nov_way - Thank you…it is indeed a gem
@adamswomanback - Thank you, I think in this list everybody will find some area to work on and that is what inner unfoldment is all about to keep on fine tuning who we are.
Thank you.. like a premonition, your reply is the message I needed to hear on this date and at this hour.
@Nostra_Damus – Thanks
It is too easy to sell out or compromise a principle that you are unsure of. In a way sometimes we test the boundaries and find ourselves crossing the line that makes our integrity less valuable.
How can we hold wisdom if we let wisdom slide out from our hands? Yes we need conviction with our faith because without holding dear to our principles everything is shifting sand.
Good guideposts for the journey.
