It's the time of year a lot of us consider making some changes: eat better, exercise more, clean out the garage. Before long, our good intentions are out of sight and out of mind, packed away for next year's wish list along with all the holiday decorations.
Let's try something new this year. Let this be the year to manifest more of what is really important and fill our lives with what we truly value.
What we value is at the core of who we are. These 'core values' are powerful because they are the embodiment of intelligent operating principles that give meaning to life, rejuvenate spirit and create a sense of well-being. When there is an alignment between what we value and the actions we carry out we feel fulfilled.
This is what we mean when we speak of heart.
The more consistently we act from our hearts, the better life seems to work. We feel care, appreciation, love, joy, compassion, kindness-heart-felt emotions that serve us well. Life has more texture. Is it any wonder we all live for the moments our hearts come alive?
What matters most to you?
What’s important to you in your work life?
What’s important to you outside of work?
What values do the people you admire exemplify?
What motivates you to work hard?
Which values are you consistently living?
Which ones would you like to live more?
Resolve to be true to your heart. It's how to live the life you want.
