Do You Have Your Guiding Principles?

Here's Why You Should!

Have you ever felt lost? Like you're drifting aimlessly through life, carried away by the currents of society, technology, or peer pressure? If yes, then let me share a secret with you: You're not alone!

Many of us sail through this vast ocean of life without a compass. Without our guiding principles. And let me tell you, having these guiding principles is like having a North Star, a beacon to keep you on course in every decision, every focus.

Why are Guiding Principles Important?

Imagine going on a road trip without a map or GPS. Sounds daunting, right? That's how life can be without guiding principles. They're your life's GPS. They remind you of who you are, where you come from, and where you're headed.

Now, you might be wondering, what are my guiding principles? Let me share them with you:

1. NEVER FORGET:?

Under this banner I remember those that I have lost in my life and what I have learnt from them.?

• My dad taught me about creating legacy so my girls know their dad, the importance of quality time with my kids, and the invaluable nature of time.
• Hodgy? From him, I learned personal beliefs, the essence of mateship, and how to make life-enhancing decisions.
• And Jill? Oh, she was all about energy, giving, joy, and embarking on adventures.

2. BE AUTHENTIC:?

• What gives you that warm fuzzy feeling? For me, it's staying true to what brings joy.
• Always connect with a genuine smile.?
• And hey, send out those positive vibes!

3. LIVE FOR LONGEVITY:?

• ?Every morning? It's a new battle. Win it!
• ?Remember, your health? That's the real treasure.
• ?And don't forget to keep that beautiful mind of yours fit and running.

4. ALWAYS LEARN:?

• Dive into those challenging conversations.?
• Seek new horizons, new opportunities.
• Find those mentors. Trust me, they're out there waiting for you.

5. MAKE A DIFFERENCE:?

• Every conversation is an opportunity.
• Pour your heart into things and organisations that set your soul on fire.
• Cherish and nurture the ones you love deeply.

6. ABUNDANT THINKING:?

• The energy you radiate is the energy you'll attract. Believe it!

Can you relate to any of these? Or maybe they've sparked some thoughts of your own?

Now, how do you go about discovering your guiding principles?

1. Self-Reflection: Spend some quality alone time. Dive deep. Think about the moments, people, and teachings that have shaped you.

2. Ask Questions: What values resonate with you? What are the non-negotiables in your life?

3. Write Down Memories: Recall events or people that had a significant impact on you. What did they teach you?

4. Seek Feedback: Sometimes, your closest friends and family can provide insights into what drives you.

5. Refine Them: As you evolve, so might your principles. Revisit and refine them.

So, what's your story? Do you have your guiding principles? If not, are you ready to embark on this enlightening journey to discover them? Whatever path you choose, remember, life’s a grand adventure.
