SYL Week #2

Define my values...
What do you like to do? – I like to read, to create, to help.
Who and what inspires you? – Anne Howie, people who know what they're doing, know what they want
What do you feel strongly about in life? – My kids
When you close your eyes and visualise the person you want to be (free from anyone elses influence) what stands out to you? How does that “future you” act? What do they believe in? - happy, confident, not afraid, kind, helpful, believe in freedom & kindness
What are you dead set against in life? intentional & meaningless violence
What do I want from life?  to be happy, to create, to inspire, to succeed at my goals, to HAVE goals!
Values that call to me...
Enthusiasm
Peaceful
Loyalty
Family
Balance
Determined
Creativity
Freedom
Sensitivity
Grace
Health
Dream
Succeed
I thought the hardest part would be narrowing these down into just a few, but then I realised that I've just had my core values engraved on the back of my new iPad! It reads:
Create. Dream. Inspire.
Be Happy!
What do these words mean to me? 
Create - the ability to make beautiful things - cards & scrapbooks, art - painting has been calling me...I really should listen! But not only that, to create happy & successful adults out of my kids, to create a happy, pleasant home and to create a fulfilling relationship with my husband.
 "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." William Morris
Dream - make plans, set goals, and encourage my family to do the same.
Inspire -inspire myself, my family, my kids & my Kaszazz customers & colleagues to achieve their dreams & to believe in themselves.
Be Happy! - I think this one's fairly self-explanatory!!
Wow...that's a lot more than I was expecting!
