I am desperately trying to clean my office. Throwing things away is really hard for me. Everything that goes in the trash, I picture sitting in a landfill. It just feels wrong and so I hold on to things.
The problem becomes when I want to find something I can’t. It’s somewhere in this mess!
A few months ago, I sat down with Jimmy and we talked about our family’s values. Our code of conduct, ethics, values… what is important to us and should steer our choices and behavior. We wrote it down together and discussed each point.
I have a feeling I am going to lose the paper so let’s duplicate it here so I can find it when I need it:
- Never lie, always speak the truth
- Take responsibility & ownership. We are not victims.
- Always do your best. Try hard!
- Help others
- Be positive, polite, and kind to everyone. We are not rude, crude, or mean to others.
I think it’s a strong list for an 8-year-old.
