What are your top 3 core values?
I’m talking about you as a person and not your business. Have you even considered this? If not, now is the time. Everything you do should align with these.

@blueeon you have 2 of mine! Kindness and passion. I wish I was way more curious though lol. My third is reliability.
Haha what a great discussion topic. Using that life is a journey metaphor, I like think of it like a car.
Curiosity as the motivation (gas), Integrity as the track, and Reflection to give value (measure) to the distance we've come.
Slim, what are yours?
@jacob_boston I love cars so this resonates with me haha. Mine are kindness (be kind and receive kind) passionate (be in love and excited with the things that lit you up) and be reliable (to yourself and others)
@slimmy82 Haha I'm glad you liked the analogy. Great point you made there about the importance of reliability, especially to yourself. The foundation of our brands all come from the confidence we have behind ourselves and our work, which comes from the reputation we keep with ourselves to our own word & follow through. (Not completely my words, pretty sure I remembered some of that from a Ted Talk haha)
@naou never really thought about open-mindedness but I have so much respect for that. More people should be open minded!
@iris_y you do make an I retesting point and to be fair there are values that may come in different phases of life. But at your core, there are a few that have always been with you if you dig deep. Even it’s just one. For me, I have always been kind/passionate and reliable.
@iris_y I lean more toward @slimmy82 and feel there are usually at least 1 or 2 core values that are deeply rooted in your Self and although they may manifest or express differently at diff times of your life, remain relatively stable.
But I'd love to hear more about what scenarios bring out what values for you to learn more!
@slimmy82 @jefffajans
Thank you for your comments, I am very willing to provide some additional explanations. (I might be a bit extreme, this is just my personal opinion)
For example, in life, being honest is my value, but in business or certain social situations, I can only achieve "limited honesty." If people say this is my core value, but can't guide all their actions, then does this statement still make sense? I just want to make life better for myself and friends. If I have to say a value, it would be “try not to hurt others”
@iris_y absolutely. Also there’s no right or wrong answer. Each person is different and has different opinions which is what makes discussions so great!
@carolmoh this is great! Makes a lot of sense and a great practice to make sure it’s aligned with you! Thanks for sharing!!
1. Gratitude
2. Keeping good intentions in everything you do ( I believe that’s the way to be blessed)
3. Caring others around you
@slimmy82 😊thanks Slim.. glad you resonated with that.. there might be more when we do good things, even if it’s not the usual, others will catch on eventually. That’s how we can change the world for better even with little acts ✨
