A few years ago, I started making a list of principles. Since them, whenever I read or hear something that aligns with my values (and makes me go HELL YEAH!), I add it to that list. Every once in a while, I merge the ones that are identical in nature and cross out what doesn’t resonate with me anymore. I then use these principles as a compass to make big or small life decisions around my career, relationships and other life areas. I even turn some of them into daily tasks to make sure I’m constantly reminded to follow them.
