DEFINING CORE VALUES
In my perspective, it’s important to be able to articulate our core values—the things we embrace that keep our internal compass pointing north:
1. I practice intentional kindness (including self).
2. I invest time to examine my motives (why I do, or refrain from doing things).
3. I practice active listening—listening “between the lines” to what’s not being said as well as what’s verbalized.
4. Travel light—travel fast. I live below my means, embracing the philosophy that less is more.
5. Never–ever!—be held hostage by the opinion of others.
6. Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing. If I don’t like something, I change it.
7. Know my life purpose and live it. I am a channel for grace—the immediate presence of spirit.
What are your core values?
