Living values

Thinking a kind thought is admirable. Offering a kind word at an opportune moment is better, and acting on your kindness, even more so.

It’s a nice gesture to express your love. Yet it can be life-changing to put your love into practice.

Your most treasured values aren’t just for talking about. They’re for living on a day-to-day basis.

It can be easy to become resentful about people who don’t share your values. But whenever you feel such resentment take it as a cue to ask yourself, what specific actions are you taking to share those values?

As demanding as it can be, living your values produces a very good feeling. Because your efforts are resonating with the truth of who you are.

With the way you live each moment, generously extend your best values far beyond you. Serve as a constant conduit for authentic goodness, allowing it to grow more abundant.

— Ralph Marston
