Why use the Virtues?

Using the virtues brings you closer to perfection.

They free you from the negative, compounding effects of 
being self-centered. They allow you to soar.
​
The virtues are widely admired. And when they are second-nature to you, you become a powerful example of good and of achievement.
 
​Your life is important, and the virtues let you make the most of it---generating better relationships with family, friends and clients.

More specifically, the virtues give you:

• ​Greater integrity---consistency between how you want to live (or say you live) and what you do

• Clarity---you see people and events as they truly are and use your reason to set the best course in life

• Happiness and fulfillment---you know that life is about more than you and you act on that knowledge

​​

• More success in life and at work---as you use the virtues you develop the skills that are essential to achieving your goals. Skills such as good judgment, the ability to motivate others, etc.

​The virtues give you all these benefits.
