“Where life plants you, bloom with grace.” (French proverb)
Navigating through life with grace is behaving in such a way that poise, elegance, and a courteous goodwill flows naturally from within you. Simply put, grace is giving without expecting anything in return.
Through trial and error we continuously strive to become the best version of ourselves. One of the most effective ways to understand what grace looks like is by observing others. Pay close attention to those people that are joyful and have a knack for making your day better. Here’s a clue, you will find that people who exude grace have a light dancing behind their eyes.
