Balanced Core Values...

I read something the other day that really made me think - it was the idea that our core values should only ever be a reflection of who we are right now, not who we aspire to be. The logic was sound - if we know what our values are right now, we can more easily understand why things might be bothering us more than we expect - but when I look at my own core values on the wall in front of me, I see a mixture of who I am AND who I want to be.

I suppose that like most things, it’s a matter of balance - we need core values that remind us who we are, but also remind us who we want to be…
