My values

These behaviors are observed, not aspirational. They describe who I already am at my best.

Tell the truth, to myself as well as others. Relationships that aren’t built on authenticity won’t last. Honesty is the bedrock upon which peak experiences have emerged from my connections with others.

Exercise the freedom to follow my gut. If I care about something, I must make time for it—I don’t view it as a choice. Forfeiting what matters to me is the best way to lose the energy that makes living and learning exciting.

Experiment when faced with the unknown. I’ll never know everything, but I always have the opportunity to learn. My most rewarding developments in life have come from exploring possibilities and taking measured risks. Recognizing unknowns can be as important as playing with them.
