God first in everything. Without God nothing. I will not steal. I will not murder. I will not lie. I am on time. I am neat and tidy. I am had working. I am trustworthy.
My core values are love, wisdom, faith, care, fairness, loyalty, respect, and reverence.
For me, core values are standards to use when evaluating my actions or thoughts. If i feel out of line with them I know that a reevaluation and perhaps counsel from a higher wisdom is called for. Some of my personal values are easy o live within. Some are areas of growth where much more practice of behavior in line with the value is still necessary. For example, humility is one of my core values, but etopping myself from selfish, ego-based behavior is not always possible. Acceptance is a core v...
For me, core values are standards to use when evaluating my actions or thoughts. If i feel out of line with them I know that a reevaluation and perhaps counsel from a higher wisdom is called for. Some of my personal values are easy o live within. Some are areas of growth where much more practice of behavior in line with the value is still necessary. For example, humility is one of my core values, but etopping myself from selfish, ego-based behavior is not always possible. Acceptance is a core value, but some days fear overrides that ideal.
I think it’s important to occasionally reflect on and name our core values. It doesn’t mean we always live up to them, but it’s a reminder to try. Simply put, I want to live my life with integrity and joy. If I have an issue, I want to talk to the person involved, not fume about it w/someone else. I want to honor planet Earth and honor my bond with her animals.
Words on my parents’ memorial bench:
“Enjoy your life. Do what’s right. Rest often”.
I value life’s lessons. They are a guide to becoming who I am meant to be.
· Inspire trust
· Nurture respect
· Instill discipline
· Foster responsibility
· Enforce boundaries
One of the core values to me is to trust, not to follow fear but trust. To keep a balance in this, while neither overdoing nor denying what is there.
To trust in the good of others is essential for change and to follow the impulses cultivated through this focus will lead to trustworthy results wherever this is realized.
As well for me personally, it is essential to trust in the good of people and situations and not to follow my former fear to be "out", grateful for those who helped and still...
One of the core values to me is to trust, not to follow fear but trust. To keep a balance in this, while neither overdoing nor denying what is there.
To trust in the good of others is essential for change and to follow the impulses cultivated through this focus will lead to trustworthy results wherever this is realized.
As well for me personally, it is essential to trust in the good of people and situations and not to follow my former fear to be “out”, grateful for those who helped and still help me enormously to let go of possible residues left.
To trust that hinderances are obstacles to learn from and to understand their message, so that in the future, they won´t be needed further.
In my case, the formerly fixed tendency to be afraid to be dismissed brought situations where the fear has been provoked in a kind of a self-fulfilling prophesy and caused much pain in all concerned. To have been able to become aware of it fully gives reason to change and to let go.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am and how humble I feel towards the ones who have offered enormous help on this path. With this inner balance and kind of widened self-awareness, I am hoping that future projects will be able to be realized together with trusted friends.
My greatest core value is love because that is the essence of what I am. I am love in a physical form. That is enough.
All other values flow from love.
Maybe it’s just me, but to answer today’s question for some reason feels like boasting or bragging and it makes me uneasy. I make it my mission to go with the strengths that I have every day, in words and deeds, and leave it at that. My maker knows who and what I am, and I can only hope and pray that the grace and presence of the Spirit itself helps to guide and shape my values.
