living the twelve virtues
Author: Robert Sardello

People are often caught up in the buzz of everyday living and the materialistic aspects of life. Sardello describes his ideas of life which are based of twelve virtues: devotion, balance, faithfulness, selflessness, compassion, courtesy, equanimity, patience, truth, courage, discernment and love.
Broadly speaking, these virtues touch on the spiritual realm of an individual. Their presence strengthens the bond in a relationship – they not only enrich the soul but delight the heart with a richness that cannot be attained by external means. They fill up the emptiness of one's being and are a source of alternative happiness.
Although wealth and status are much sought after in today's society, there are also the less tangible but no less important qualities which women would also find attractive in a partner.
