Know Your Core Values
5 Apr
Core Values
Having core values, or a code of conduct, is important. Core values give us a structure for living and making decisions. I have a few core values I try to live by most of the time. Notice I said “try” and “most of the time.” I am not a perfect person. I am always a work in progress, and I mess up, and that is part of being human. We make mistakes. When I know what my core values are for myself, it’s easier to identify what went wrong when I messed up. If I don’t have a clue what my core values are, I am lost not knowing in which direction I need to go.
Julie’s Core Values
- I am congruent. My words and my behaviors match.
- I make decisions when my head, my heart, and my gut are aligned. In other words, my head, my heart, and my gut need to be giving me the same message.
- I act like who I hang out with, so I hang out with who I want to act like.
- I give more than I take.
- I strive to have integrity.
- I laugh at myself and my life.
- I am kind to myself and try to be kind to others.
Let perfection go and keep progressing.
