We will do things that are RIGHT. First and foremost, we will seek RIGHT behaviors and RIGHT actions; and we will do them. When we don’t, we will admit and react quickly, make any amends necessary, then do what is RIGHT.
We will seek WISDOM: By continually seeking knowledge for our own personal and professional development. Knowing that humility comes before WISDOM, we will earnestly seek knowledge from others that know more, with humility. To progressively advance our position in life from anyone and everyone available around us. Then, we will inherently and naturally receive more WISDOM.
We will WORK HARD and make a habit of doing more than expected; for every partnership that we have with customers, suppliers, and coworkers. We will focus only on what we can do and what we can control. When we practice doing more than expected, no matter what results you expect, we already know that good results will come when we WORK HARD.
We will be decisive and not be afraid to ACT. We all arrived here with substantial life experiences, knowledge, and wisdom. As individuals in our own tasks and collectively as a team, we will be confident in our current abilities and gifts to ACT early and often. Mistakes will be made but they all can be corrected and learned from. The biggest mistake we can make is when we are afraid and refuse to ACT.
We will SMILE. Since happiness is a choice that we can make and control, we will choose to be happy every day. We will laugh often, whether at ourselves or from sharing funny stories, observations, and experiences. We will practice this and ‘do it anyway’ until we come to realize that we can choose to be happy, and we will begin each day with a SMILE.
We will have COMPASSION and exercise kindness often. We will have COMPASSION for ourselves, our families, our careers, our friends, and all others. We will embrace the secret power of forgiveness so we can give it away quickly and receive it completely, especially when we forgive ourselves. We will strive not to boast unless we are boasting about someone else. The pressures of life are always reduced when we excel at COMPASSION.
We will be GRATEFUL. Please and thank you are always appropriate. We will go a step further and be GRATEFUL, consistently. In 30 minutes or less each one of us can identify 100 or 200 people, places, things, events, or experiences that we are GRATEFUL for. Practicing gratitude for the simple and amazing things we already have changes us, for the better, from the inside. We will know that we are already blessed and GRATEFUL.
In our collective pursuit to do what is RIGHT, to seek WISDOM, to WORK HARD-more than expected, to ACT & SMILE, practice COMPASSION, all while being GRATEFUL…
We must never forget to REST have FUN and ENJOY this life that we decided to create.
Perhaps the most important ‘product’ we ever make and store in our lives.
