Over the years I have recorded short directives that I try to follow on a daily basis. Many of the directives are ones that I have come up with, others have come from sources that are long forgotten. During the next two months I will be expanding on these to explain where they came from, what they mean and how they can be used.
As more come to mind over the coming years I’ll keep adding to them. The directives include:
- Be genuine
- Have influence and bring impact
- Do, live and be well
- Value others and provide value to others
- Communicate to collaborate
- Be a friend, to have friends
- Dream to inspire
- Seek and build flourishing lives and communities
- Explore and experience the world, be of the world, and be for the world
- Do instead of say or watch
- Listen, observe, and always learn
- Relax to accomplish
- Keep it short, simple and sweet
- Be in the moment to maximize the moment
- Know the past, to understand the present and shape the future
- Live on the edge – “If your not living on the edge your taking up too much space!”
- Analyze the problem as much as the solution
- Negate (definition: to nullify or cause to be ineffective) negative emotions – anger, jealousy, hate, envy and others
- Make history everyday – Howard Zinn
