The more I work with values, the more I come to know how imperfect I am.
Values get betrayed or neglected at one time or another…through a lack of discipline, or distraction, or maybe because I just didn’t “feel like it” that day.
If I articulate a high value for relationship, I have purposed to prioritize a specific quality of relationship…a quality that has not always be present, but one that I would aspire to…and aspire to be.
I can’t control much of the quality of love coming towards me…but I can completely control what I give to others, and this is where I find my imperfection. When I have a good day, it is cause for celebration. Yesterday was a good day. I fulfilled my value for loving relationship…and I am at peace.
