15 Traits of People That Matter

I've listed some traits of people that matter, at least to me. Their characteristics are stated in its general sense or 'essence':

1. people who are respectful, if not kind.
2. people with a passion, a dedication to a purpose, or at least a recognition that he/she has a mission here on Earth.
3. people who can enjoy themselves and can make you laugh.
4. people whom you can relax your personal defenses.
5. people who truly listen, are generally supportive, and can bring out the best in you.
6. people who are inwardly secure and powerful, needing little validation and attention from others. Stated in Filipino: 'di papansin'.
7. people who are open-minded, who let others be -- at least most of the times. Stated in Filipino: 'walang pakialaman'.
8. people who are honest with their feelings, be it a "negative" feeling or not. And yet you can still sense that they're just acknowledging the moment and are not long-term misers.
9. people who know what they want and can communicate these wants clearly.
10. people who have lots of energy and a healthy outlook on life, whatever their present circumstances.
11. people who reflect inner simplicity, humility, and substance no matter how much success they've had.
12. people who are inwardly silent and simple, yet very wise when giving advice.
13. people holding the seeming paradox of being individuated yet part of the whole of humanity.
14. people who are creative, by generating beauty or by making you see the world in another angle of magnificence that it already is.
15. people who are generally loving and compassionate, specially those on the path of service.
