What do you love?
Remember from last week, when we asked you to name the three things on earth that you value most? The idea was to start thinking about how your value for those things can help you make decisions.
Your greatest values are even more powerful than you realize. Not only can they help you make decisions in life as it is. They can even help you change your life into what it should be.
I love that moment in the “I Have a Dream” speech where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. mentions his hope for his four children. How often do you think he looked at them for the courage to persevere? Sometimes the big picture is too big and too distant to inspire us. Sometimes we have to dedicate our efforts to the things that nobody cares for like we do. That’s harnessing the power of your values. It’s brave, and it’s amazingly transformative.
What do you love? That specific, seemingly trivial thing is your key to getting important things done.
For five Gap/Outlet Reward Points right now, go back to those three things you love most, and meditate on them. What greater good do they represent to you? Share with us in the comments below.
Remember, thought into action = courage
