Summary
I live by striving for excellence in all I do, cherishing a high sense of integrity, and fostering relentless self-improvement. On top of that, I maintain a playful spirit to keep life light-hearted. I am constantly seeking growth, joy, and authenticity in my journey.
Breakdown
- How you do anything is how you do everything
- Integrity
- Relentless Self Improvement
- Playfulness - Let your inner child play
What this means to me is do things the way my uncle Warren would have done them (he was a super hard worker). Do things with excellence. This is the only value that immediately popped in my head when I first attempted this. Make my bed in the morning.
Corollary: Do things the right way Corollary: Use the right tool for the job
What this means to me is like be a positive influence for the world. Clean up after myself. Leave things better than I found them. If someone needs help, help them. That sort of thing. I’m not sure if this is necessarily a “value” - but I’ll roll with it as I’m struggling to think of other things.
Corollary: In order to be a good person, you must try to be a good person
If there’s something that will improve your situation, do it. That could be something that will make you more productive in the future, etc.
Corollary: Invest in yourself, Long term thinking, optimize for an outcome 5+ years for now.
I actively seek moments of laughter, playfulness, and light-heartedness, infusing my life with positive energy. When I get the urge to do or say something funny, that’s coming from my inner child wanting to play.
Corollary: What’s the most fun or funny thing I can do in this moment?
Considering
- If you don’t fail you’re not even trying
- Rest at the end not in the middle
