Core Values

I'll keep this one short, to balance out the last monster post.

I'm feeling very "happy" these days. Last week I had to come up with a Leadership essay for class, so I meditated on the questions "Who am I? What do I belive in? What are my CORE values?"

The results have been enlightening. Here are the 5 things I came up with. They are in no particular order, and I want to constantly refine the language:

-This Earth is my Mother and I will treat her with dur respect.

-I am grateful for the support received from past generation, and I pledge my full support to future ones.

-I will pursue money & power only as a means to my goals (sustainable life/society), never as ends in of themselves.

-When my actions impact others, I will be aware of the consequences.

-I will listen to others and feel compassion for their suffering.
