They are the compass guiding us through life’s unpredictable journey, providing us with a sense of purpose, identity, and direction. Understanding and embracing our core values can be transformative, empowering us to lead a meaningful and authentic life. Defining Core Values In its essence, core values are the fundamental beliefs and principles that shape our attitudes and behaviors.

For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment."  Above quote taken from the book Man's Search for Meaning by the author Victor Frankl  In Viktor Frankl's book "Man's Search for Meaning," the meaning of life can be explored through the lens of finding purpose and meaning even in the most challenging circumstances. Frankl, who was a Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist, argues that life's ultimate meaning is found in discovering our purpose, especially in the f...

We can find ourselves trapped in a cycle of comparison, self-doubt, and fear, preventing us from truly living. But what if it was possible to embrace imperfection, understanding that it is not a sign of failure but a testament to our humanity? Do not allow perfect to prevent you from living; instead, let imperfection guide you to a life rich with experiences, growth, and self-discovery. Embracing Imperfections: Perfection is an elusive ideal that can curb creativity and interfere with personal development. It is the constant fear of making mistakes or falling short of goal...

Plastino "Most jobs and many leisure activities - especially those involving the passive consumption of mass media - are not designed to make us happy and strong. Their purpose is to make money for someone else." "But like everything else, work and leisure can be appropriated for our needs. People who learn to enjoy their work, who do not waste their free time, end up feeling that their lives as a whole have become much more worthwhile."  Above quote referenced from the book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience , page 163 from the author Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi  Work should be enjoyed because it occupies a significant part of our day and lives; finding fulfillment in our career leads to be...

Plastino  "Be Tolerant with others and strict with Yourself:               Marcus Aurelius   The above quote attributed to Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic philosopher and Roman Emperor, encapsulates a profound principle of self-discipline and empathy. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between understanding and accepting the differences in others while holding oneself to high standards of behavior and moral integrity.   To be tolerant with others means to practice patience, understanding, and acceptance toward people whose beliefs, actions, or perspectives may differ from our own. It promotes harmony and peaceful coexistence, fostering a compassionate society. Other people's behaviours are beyond our control so we can just be tolerant of their differences compared to us. On the other hand, being strict on oneself implies adhering to a strong mor...

                            Photo by Hebert Santos   "Every relationship is one of give and take. Giving engenders receiving, and receiving engenders giving. What goes up must come down; what goes out must come back. In reality, receiving is the same thing as giving, because giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And if you stop the flow of either, you interfere with nature's intelligence." Above quote referenced from the book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success , page 29 by author Deepak Chopra . Giving and receiving can create a continuous flow of energy in the universe because it represents a cycle of exchange. When you give, you put positive energy, kindness, or resources into the world, which can have a ripple effect, positively impacting others and the environment. When you receive, you acknowledge and appreciate the energy given, creating a sense of gratitud...
