The Pursuit of Nobility

A Virtue Worth Rubies

The Old Testament states that a noble woman is "worth more than rubies." Nobility arises from understanding the deeper causes of your personal challenges. Nobility is embodied in people who refuse to be limited—who, even in poverty, sickness or oppression, maintain their dignity, courage and grace.

How can you ennoble your spirit daily? There’s no secret…just follow your heart. When you are really feeling down, find a way to smile. Even in your darkest times, remember those who might be suffering and send prayers, blessings and lend a helping hand. Remember that the sun always comes out after the storm, hold your head high and take on the aura of a noble person. Make it a priority to seek out your noble self…you will find a virtue far more valuable than rubies!
