Guiding Values

While I've spent much of my life working in broad ways to help other people, I'm beginning to feel the need to refine my efforts in a more clear and precise way. I've done everything from mentoring troubled youth, to volunteering on crisis phone lines, and running statewide ballot issue and political campaigns.

I have always been driven by general sense of social justice and I am grateful for all the opportunities to serve I've had.I've come to rely on my own divine internal compass and now with the abundance of service opportunities out there I'd like to more clearly define my own personal principles and values.

My plan is to do this on paper and establish a few core values that will help guide me in offering the most of myself to the world.I'm curious if any one out there has ever done anything like this before and what your results were???

Thanks!

I've done just this.

Put it together some years ago. (Circa November 2000)

Has helped greatly. Has even helped during job interviews and establishing tones of campaigns I've headed here in Louisville.

I'll point you to a URL once I find it. Might be of assistance.
