My 5 Values ::
This is hard. I am having a hard time seeing the values reflected in what I wrote above. I am almost there but this may take coming back to…
I think these people came to mind for a few reasons. They exist outside of the box, outside of a faith system, a school system, the system. They thrive on reflection about themselves, and are very good at realizing that. Kate does it very publicly while my husband does it very privately. They just might not give a damn about what others think (at least, not all the time). Shirking responsibility is not an option.
So, what I am coming up with is still murky in how it becomes my core values…
I cherish respect, freedom, awareness, self reflection and movement and these people seem to do all those things very very well in life.
These are great lists and wondeful qualities.
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, if you asked Kate and Tim to list the qualities they loved in you, where do you think the overlaps might be between their lists and yours?
You're doing great work! Hope you are finding it worthwhile.

Sounds like an awesome exercise. :)
