I take stock of how well I’m living in accordance with my values every day.

The following are principles I try to live by as best I can.

• Be humble. The part of me that wants to take credit for accomplishments is not something that should be fed. That same beast will tear me apart when I fail.
• Be scrupulously honest. This is easier when things align with what I want — much harder when they don’t.
• Think of how I can help others and do it each day.
• Do what I can to keep growing towards what I want to become.

There are, of course, many times when I fail to live up to these ideals, but by always keeping these things in mind, I hope to continually and consistently do better.
