Jim's Personal Values (a work in progress)

• In an attempt to provide a foundation and reference for my own further personal development, I thought it appropriate to record my personal values. They are, in no particular order, to:

  • fully love, and be fully loved
  • pass on with the most friends, and have those friends to be genuine, caring and sharing friends. Each year I wish to improve my relationship with each of my friends, and add a few friends to the list.
  • honor the teachings of the Four Agreements:
    • be impeccible with your word
    • don't take anything personally
    • don't make assumptions
    • always do your best
  • improve the world, by spreading wealth (example: Kiva), Education (example: financial coaching) or encouraging and supporting others.
  • be insatiably curious, but satisfy some of those curiosities on a regular basis while opening the door for new things to be curious about. Be fully engaged and aware while I research, create, participate, explore, enjoy and take time to reflect all my experiences from my successes and my failures.
  • honor and support my body through:
    • nutrition
    • meditation
    • excercise (hiking, biking, kayaking, etc.)
  • be prepared for what surprises Universe will pass my way

   

  And finally ... celibrate life, as a way of life.

  = = = = = = = =

  New: I have added to my daily routine:

  • stopping at random during the day and taking a full 60 second 100% awareness break. Take inventory. Stop, listen, smell ... be fully aware and appreciative.
  • Reminding myself "If it is to be, it is up to me."
  • throwing out something
