In everything i do i try to act according to these guiding principles. I know as long as i keep making decisions with these things in mind i will be on the right path.
Honesty for me means being honest to myself and being honest to my environment about how I feel even if that will bring some trouble in the short term. This is very important to me because honesty is the foundation of good relationships with yourself and the people around you.
Compassion for me means being compassionate towards myself and
others. Reminding myself that i did the best i could and had the
best intentions. While trying to give the same grace to others.
Knowing that everyone is struggling with their own
problems and people that do you wrong rarely act out of bad
intentions, rather as a consequence of their circumstances.
This
doesn’t mean that people can't be held accountable, that
wouldn’t be compassionate towards yourself.
It’s about
understanding your own and the other’s perspective and moving acting
accordingly.
Curiosity for me means being curious about my environment, the
people around me and being open to learning new things and
perspectives.
It ties in with my other core values
because curiosity is necessary for honesty and compassion. Besides
that I see life as a long learning journey in which you collect
knowledge and skills in your metaphorical backpack.
I
know im doing well when i stay curious and focus on trying to
understand.
