Intentional Way of Being
.
To get clarity, try making a list of core values and think about what attitudes are going to stem from that list. For example, if your list has core values of integrity, honest work, persistence, and helping others, that is going to lead to consistently making a positive difference in the lives of others. It will lead to an attitude of being positive and taking action on what matters to you and your community. Operating in life without core values may feel like a ship adrift with a destination. “If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time.”
.
By first determining your core values, you’ll have a way of being in alignment with those. If you’re operating from a good list, it almost doesn’t matter what actions you take because your actions will flow naturally from your positive way of being.
.
Sometimes people ask, “What do you want to do when you get out of school? What do you want to do when you grow up? What do you want to do with your life?”
.
I think a better question is “who do I want to be?” What attitude do I want to have when I go through my life? If you’ve got the attitude right, if you’ve got the core values and the way of being right, it almost doesn’t matter what you do in terms of actions because you’re going to be fulfilled if you’re acting from your core purpose.
