Positive Qualities

positive quality is a personality trait that contributes to the psychological well-being of ourselves or others, and increases our ability to function well in the world, in a healthy and ethical (moral) way.

All people are born with the potential for these inner qualities. With the right training and practice, these qualities can be strengthened and expressed to a greater extent. Without proper guidance, these traits may remain weak, or even be blocked by harmful patterns of thought and behavior.
