Well I was reading the news paper.

Don’t be too shocked… It was behind the Funnys…. =P

It was in the Lifebeat section, i think it was yesterdays paper too. Its tited Core Values. wich caught my eye, for some strange reason. 

It was about this girl who went to a YMCA healthy living convention and they did a little game called Healthy Values. Where the proctor passed out a list of 20 something words like love, family, money, ETC. They then passed the paper around writing down 2 other words that are considered values. wach person would take a paper that had the whole list of words and they were to shorten it down from about 75 to 3. those three are their core values. 

So Obviously got me thinking about what my core values are…. wich honestly I’ve never thought of. 

So, because I am not in a group of people, I looked up a list of core values. Its a pretty chunky list too. 

After I narrowed it down to only 3.. wich was very difficult. It came down to, Optimism, Creativity, and Hard Work. 

There were others that i was stuck on, like change and tolerance. However i decided those three words are the bases for the other words i was stuck on. 

Optimism: Even though times are tough, I don’t see why its impossible for things to change. I think the only way things are actually going to change for the better, is if we beleive they will. I know that sounds very Disney/Cliche, but its true. If i were to walk around everywhere thinking like Eeyore , i would get nothing done. I probably go into some sort of depression. 

Creativity: WHy does life have to be so, in the box? I can’t do something if its boring. Theres no point in doing it. ITs also not hard to think of ways to make it fun. For me creativity is a must. by working with girl scouts, I’ve learned people don’t wanna do stuff if it doesnt interest them. so if you just put a weird spin on it.. its not so bad. 

Hard Work: With the fun comes hard work. I am a very determined person, along with someone who like to get things done.  I don’t think i can accomplish much by being lazy. So this one is pretty simple. if i want change, or to make a difference I have to put in hard work. 

So one simple question.. What are your Core Values?!
