Values are like sunscreen. We grab them to use when we find ourselves in hot situations.
The reality is that we use our values every moment of everyday. To make the choices you will make today you are either using exceptions or your values.
If you let your problems drive you decisions, you are making exceptions in the moment and letting the problem limit your choices. You are looking to solve the ‘immediate pain’ that you are facing.

I don’t know about you, but that always seems to bite me in the butt if you know what I mean.
Have you found that just about EVERY problem we face, is only temporary?
I can’t even count the number of times I’ve said these words: “JUST THIS ONCE”! It’s because I was letting the pain drive my decision making and NOT my values! I wanted so much to do the easy thing, the non “problem causing” solution just to get rid of the problem. Just so I could stop my Bride of 20 years bugging me, or my business partner having to ask me 1 more freaking time if I’m “up to speed” on the project… YES for the 100th time.. yes I’m up to speed! Anyone ever experience that?
So I needed a way to say clear, to regain my focus over my ultimate decisions.
In the call this morning on the Daily Awakening, Ep 679 – Values, we talked about how to begin to implement what you need to reach your goals on a daily basis.

The conversations we had this morning are about getting clear on what you can do today, and how you can make sure you are holding yourself responsible each day.
I know for myself, I have to focus on it almost hourly. Whatever the case, today focus a bit more on the 3 things, your 3 intentions you need to do today so you can keep yourself moving closer towards your goals.
Action Steps for today:
1. List 3 intentions to accomplish.
2. What are 3 things would make today freaking awesome?
3. What are your ‘NON-Negotiables” for you today?
What are the things that you will get done no matter what. When you start out that way in the morning, you get to live by your values just a bit more.
Hope these ideas bring you some value. Share with your community.
