[quote=Anonymous]5:52 and 10:43 get it.  It is not the norm in this area, unfortunately.  Knowing when to say when and back off; choosing your battles; not using others/being needy/being a taker/being draining; begin resourceful and willing to share; not feigning ignorance when you are clearly in the wrong (admitting it); willing to say you are sorry when you have clearly wronged someone; being friendly (not hot and cold); not attaching your "wealth" to "things" (knowing it is spiritual - not religious, but spiritual); knowing how to be happy inside and able to be happy for others; not showing contempt or making faces (like a small child - show more depth than that!), not being judgmental.....

There are many facets to this OP.  Suffice it to say it is how you are raised.  If you are truly content, successful and educated, you show manners and respect.  Being nice is not taken for being a doormat (a favorite D.C. past time).  If you meet top leaders, they will have a charisma in person because they know how to be graceful.

In short, having the capacity to and executing taking the high road.  Not gossiping and not seeking gossip are a huge part of this, as the PPs pointed out.  Not pretending you are "so busy", when in reality, you just don't have a handle on things and it shows.  Knowing how to have endurance and responsibility.  Owning what is yours.

Often, people with self depreciating humor and humility are graceful (they have inward perspective and ownership), but there are not too many who realize this!  GL in your spiritual journey, OP.  Good on you for realizing this!      [/quote]
