Genuine Civility: A Mark of Character

What is Genuine Civility? If you’re like my family they think of it as a foreign phrase or an era lost in time. Civility is simply an honest demeanor of being polite and courteous to every person. Genuine Civility is a pleasant energy which illuminates the space of expression or the space in which we express kindness and courtesy. You feel it when it’s given and received. Such a refreshing attribute when you think about it.
​
We benefit from acts of consideration and cooperation when Genuine Civility is shown and most importantly when it’s felt. Expressing Genuine Civility can be as simple as a smile, kind words, and assistance when someone needs our help or as complex as advocating for the good of all on the world’s stage.
Genuine Civility is a form of social integrity. Being balanced, sound, and complete; a complete you - a Mark of Character™ - it’s extremely contagious when we live it on purpose.
​
As our society moves forward let’s intentionally take with us the contagious ways of being kind, fair, sincere, and straightforward in our conduct. The benefits are irreplaceable and create a foundation for a pleasant life – Genuine Civility a Mark of Character. ™
