What were you up to 19 years ago? That would have been 1992, takes a while to think on, n'est pas? We just ended a 19 year cycle this month and have the opportunity to embrace another 19 years with a new declaration, intention and review and perhaps revision of our core values. The following are mine, our core values are the glue that holds are intention in place, they form our life and keep us on the path of creating useful and satisfying lives.
Activity: Values
Value: Optimum Health
I live simply and whole, where my priorities are set through personal care, moments of daily gratitude,
honoring of all relationships, and each day experienced with grace from the heavenly father.
Value: Creativity
I am a creative thinker, creating opportunity and divine expression with the variety of tasks I chose to take on. My creativity and unstoppable spirit create beauty, compassion and abundance in all four corners of my world.
Value: Gratitude
I live a blessed life, grateful for all life's experience: acknowledging my most difficult trials as the ones having taught me the greatest lessons.
Values: Holism
I surrender my will, acknowledging my life's expression is one of body, mind and spirit. In every act and moment of surrender I acknowledge the divine in action.
Value: Integrity
I am nothing without honoring and being my word, gossip is not my friend. My integrity is the glue that holds my values in place.
Value: Forgiveness
I acknowledge without forgiveness there is no wisdom. I acknowledge daily those who have hurt me, look for the lesson in the hurt and move on.
