Kindness.
Care for the earth and all that lives on and with it.
Patience, most days.
I can make a difference through my choices and actions.
I recognize my privilege and commit every day to applying it in the direction of justice. (That line about the arc of the moral universe being long, but bending toward justice? That’s only true if we’re pulling on it. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/11/15/arc-of-universe/)
I can get through whatever comes along if I just keep going.
The greatest of them for me is empathy…for through that lens, I strive to see all things, to recognize the beautiful fullness therein and reflect back love, kindness, generosity, acceptance, and safety that understanding brings.
My core values I live by are: integrity, autonomy, and simplicity. Autonomy may be my basic desire, but I make sure to stay clean when getting my way which is why I value integrity above all else. It’s what motivates me to connect more to my root people consistently. Simplicity happens to be the intersectionality I have with them that makes it easier for me to bench my ego and trust them.
This was an eye opener if contemplated honestly:
Fairness
Respect
Humility
Try not to hurt other living creatures (man or beast)
Tolerance
Trust and listen for the voice of a greater power.
I do not live this perfectly but it seems those are the principles I live most closely
We all come from the same Source/Divine Spark/God/the Universe.
Love, Gratitude & Forgiveness.
Being authentic to myself and holding healthy boundaries.
Kindness to others and critters
Generosity
Gratefulness
Inclusivity
Wholistic personal development
Open-ness
Non-judgement
I really appreciate this question this morning. I go about living my life, and I haven’t given specific thought to my principals as of late. Seems timely to check-in with myself to see if I am being the person I say I want to be. Each day is an opportunity to be so, and to realize when I am not being so, and to start again. ❤️
To me, one of the core principles that guides the way I live is: what I don’t want others to do to me, I wouldn’t do to them. Additionally, if I can help someone financially, I go for it and give them money rather than lending it, so I don’t lose the friendship.
Living gratefully, faithfully and kindly. I strive to live by my self truth and worth – being authentically me while showing up and giving compassion and love to those most important to me. I don’t always succeed.

Well-said, Mary.
I agree, especially as we’re on the cusp of a new year.
To me, one of the core principles that guides the way I live is: what I don’t want others to do to me, I wouldn’t do to them. Additionally, if I can help someone financially, I go for it and give them money rather than lending it, so I don’t lose the friendship.
My Ngoc, this sounds exactly like the old saying of “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” I live by that too.
Living gratefully, faithfully and kindly. I strive to live by my self truth and worth – being authentically me while showing up and giving compassion and love to those most important to me. I don’t always succeed.
Definitely gratefulness (sometimes I falter), spirituality, self-care, and time in nature– they all overlap.
Good to see you here, Avril. Thinking of you and your family with all that’s going on for you.
Loving kindness and gratefulness
Honesty, spiritual and especially emotional growth.
Live and let live. Peace, Love and Light.
Gratitude, honesty and authenticity are the core principles that guide the way I live.
