Core Values

Core Values would be like describing Love. Everything in life leads back to this, does it not?

Only #1 is in order by priority:

#1: Growth - in God. A relationship with Him isn't something we attain in an instant. As humans, I believe this is an evolving process and a different journey for each one of us.

#2: Honesty. In everything we do and in all our relationships. Does this include the little white lie to save someone from getting hurt about their new haircut, clothing, etc.? I would like to think we use our inner compass to decipher what is right.

#3: No Facade. Be true to yourself and be yourself. What will get accomplished in this lifetime if we all try to be something we really aren't. Everyone sees through it so why do it?

#4: Be Vulnerable. No that's not a misprint. I've struggled with this in my lifetime and it's been a long road to reach some improvement. It feels more comfortable for me to stay guarded. After all, that's less chance of pain and judgement, so why would we want to be vulnerable to that! Because it's so very crucial for growth.

#5: Remain out of your comfort zone. Again - growth.

#6: Experience. Life! Try new things, thoughts, and adventures! Life is short!

#7: Fail. Don't be afraid of it - this also teaches the next generation to be afraid. There is so much wisdom to be gained from failure.

#8: Set goals. Goals give something to strive for and make it harder to fall into complacency.

#9: Respect for others and yourself. "Do unto others as you would have done unto you."

#10: Good communication. This is one value I admire and work towards. It impacts all relationships, first and foremost with God and our loved ones.
