Determination does not necessarily mean optimism or hopefulness, as they imply expecting things to work out. Determination doesn't require that. It's the part of a person that drives them to keep going even when everything seems to be for nothing.

It shows up as a specific kind of restlessness. You are hard to talk out of things. You have a sense of how a story is supposed to end and a physical difficulty accepting versions where it doesn't. People around you have probably described you as intense, or as someone who “doesn't let go,” and meant both as compliments and warnings.

Be that as it may, you're a driving force regardless of what you set your mind on. Being objective-focused and unwilling to compromise on your vision is admirable, but you should probably learn how to keep that drive under control.

Bravery is not the absence of fear; rather, it's the drive to keep moving in spite of it. Where others would give up when faced with a seemingly impossible challenge, it shines by leading the charge.

It tends to look like a willingness to be the first one to speak, the first one to make a choice, the first one to pursue its wishes.
Brave people are frequently the ones who make the gears of time turn: they'd much rather be hurt than sit idly by to avoid pain.

Justice is the ideal that fairness should come first: All animals are equal, none are more equal than others. Slights against yourself can sometimes be let go of; slights against someone who couldn't stop them, almost never.

It makes you the kind of person who will bring a wrongdoing to light no matter what, often at your own expense. Even in the face of consequences, though, it's uncommon for the Just to regret having done the right thing.

Kindness is not niceness. The latter is pleasant and cheap, only offered by those who are unable or unwilling to tell people what they actually need to hear. Kindness is frequently inconvenient, and it might even hurt at first, but it's aimed at providing the best possible outcome for those who wouldn't be able to help themselves.

You are probably the person people tell things to. You often find yourself feeling someone's discomfort and wanting to figure out how to fix things almost out of instinct.

Patience is a much rarer virtue than people think, because most of what gets called patience is just slowness or avoidance. Patience is the active choice not to force something to happen before its time has come, and to understand the things that cause you pain instead of letting instinct fight them off.

It gives you an unusual tolerance for unresolved situations. While other people need to know things immediately, to have their answers as soon as possible, or to say and do things in the heat of the moment, you can hold an open matter for a long time without it eating at you, while you thoroughly think about how to solve the issue.

Integrity is consistency between what is said, what is done, and who one is. It is less about honesty as a policy than about the discomfort of being two different people depending on the circumstances, which you feel more sharply than most.

In practice it makes you predictable, in the good sense. People know what they're getting, you're trustworthy and your word is your bond, making you shine as a guiding light for others to follow.

Perseverance is about being willing to bend, but not to break. It's the push to keep moving forward even when the destination seems unreachable; and it's about accepting all the pain that comes along with doing so.

The most famous example of Perseverance is that of The Tortoise and the Hare: while the latter overestimated its talent and rested on its laurels, the former didn't let the overwhelming disadvantage discourage it. In the end, it's the one who persevered that won.
