Anyway, I felt I'd forgotten how I wanted to be - not goals, but ways of being. And that I needed to remember what values are important to me. Here, the fruit of a nice journal session, is the list.
- Romantic Relationship with love and spark and partnership
- Taking care of my own
spirit
- Be
happy with myself & enjoy my own company
- Sleep enough, exercise,
eat well
- Be
charismatic and confident
- Live truthfully (integrity)
- Find and learn from mentors
- Taking care of my
“customers” in work
- Keep my commitments
- Follow up with people
I can only handle a "top ten" list. The rest is too much to remember in the moment as life arises. But, for what it's worth, here is the rest of the list:
- Spread love
- Live Lightly on the environment
- Approach People
- Building a team in my
work
- Make money
- Study People
- Help
& Teach
- Celebration
& creation of beauty
- Listen
to God
- Be
a desired lover
- Welcome people
- Win
- Be
a “success” in the world’s eyes
- Following spontaneous
inspiration
- Be happy and charming to
myself
- Be
loved
- Be
attractive
- Spread
peace
- Confront
oppression
- Build
community
- Set high expectations
for myself
- Get out there and DO,
even when I feel stuck
- win
- Be thankful
- Set goals
You'll notice it's all color coded - that's different levels. Red is what I really want and orange what seems essential. And on down.
I'm trusting that you, the reader, won't be actually holding me to these standards! I want to live this way . . . but I get no exemption from being human and do not claim so. Actually these are my growing edges. The values I've locked in I don't have to think about.
