Personal Core Values

For those that work in an office environment, you’ll be familiar with the term Corporate Core Values, which are philosophy and principles that guides the way a company does business. Core Values are meant to help a business succeed. Some organizations have core values just for the sake of having them but rarely practices it. Fortunately, I work for an organization that actually believes in its core values and it is constantly being practiced throughout the organization.
As part to of my Leadership training offered as a University course from the Organization I am fortunate to work for, we were given an assignment to look within ourselves and determine the personal values we have for ourselves. The guiding principles we use to live our lives day by day.
This exercise was a rewarding one for me. I didn’t find it difficult because I realize that I was already living my life based on these principles I have written down. What I found rewarding was seeing it on paper. I am now reminded that whenever I am faced with personal challenges to reflect back on the guiding principles that have taken me to where I am today, my personal core values.  I wish to share them with you all.
- Imagine, dream and have visions of tomorrow – Than take action to turn those visions into reality
- Have faith and hope, but not to be confused with optimism, that with every challenge and question, has an answer and solution
- Be courageous and confident, even when the light is shinning on others
- Always think the best of others. Focus on their qualities and not their deficiencies
- Measure ones success by their character and not their assets
- With the right intention and motivation, continue to educate, support and assist family and friends who are in need
- Never forget where you came from. Never lose yourself. Be authentic. Be you
- Celebrate your successes with a piece of humble pie
- It’s about you, but it’s not all about you
- Love yourself
