Making Choices. As I think about my core values, I realize that the choices I make must reflect what those core values are. At any given moment in the day, we are making choices. Most of the time those choices are involuntary or automatic. What if we took the time to become aware of not only the choices that we are making, but also how they align with the things that we say we value? If we say that one of our core values is integrity, yet we support causes or leaders who lack integrity, how do we justify our support? If we say that we value the environment and sustainability, yet we drive a vehicle that is not environmentally friendly, how do we “square that circle”?
From where I sit, living authentic lives means that we make choices based on our values. It may take some work, but to live from our core values creates congruence with and a coherence of thoughts, words, and actions.
