I think that any person's list of important skills will reflect their life ambitions, it was intellectualy stimulating to think about these as the set of skills I need to reach my life purpose, so thank you for this thread, as for my personal list goes:

• Wisdom and Disernment.
• The ability to match intent with action.
• Mastery (as a meta-discipline).
• Presence and grounding in the here and now.
• Reflection, Self Inquiry and Meditation.
• The ability to love self and other, and ultimately dissolving the distinction between the two and staying with just pure love.
• Discipline (doing what needs to be done regardless of emotional state).
• Choice making (and seeing that life is made out of choices whether they are made consciously or unconsciously).
• Lightness of spirit - Humour - Not taking life too seriously (these stem from a healthy discipline of detachment).
• Strategic thinking.
• The ability to visualize, imagine and dream.
• Survival as an art in itself and not just "merely getting by on a day to day basis".
• And last and not least, I had to edit my post because I had forgot this one and I think it's of most valuable importance, Story telling. Because what are we doing constantly but telling stories (to ourselves and to the world).
