What are your core values?

Do you wonder who you really are? If you were to die today what would people remember of you?

One way you can know yourself, and for others to really know you, is to realize your “Core Values”
How do you know what you are, what you believe?
A Core Value:
• Describes you, not as an adjective but like a mirror.
• Allows you to successfully problem solve on your own.
• Guides you in a positive way of life, as a reliable and fixed constant guidepost.

So, try to elevate your sense of self awareness and consciousness. In doing this you may become more fulfilled and indeed happy with yourself.

In any event, people spend time, energy and emotional expense in “waiting”. How you wait, whether patiently or impatiently can make an impression upon your state of mind, and can influence how others view you as well.

Rather than struggling with some emotions, even anger when one is waiting, think how you could pass the time in a peaceful and meaningful way. This may not mean staring intently at your smart phone, talking on the phone or being “plugged in”. Waiting provides you an opportunity to slow down, look around, soak in some of the ambiance which is otherwise passing you by, the smell of roses, as well other smells, sights, sounds and impressions.
