    We must have the self-awareness to recognize that our values have failed.  Losing a value feels as though we’re losing a part of ourselves. We resist that failure. We explain it away and deny it. Question the value and brainstorm what values could do a better job.   Live the new value. New values have to be lived and experienced to stick. Reap the benefits of the new value.   You will be left with a wonderful sense of relief, and a newer, deeper understanding of who you really are.

  • “The more you can contain your ego, the more realistic you are about your problems. You learn how to listen, and admit that you don’t know all the answers. You exhibit the attitude that you can learn from anyone at any time. Your pride doesn’t get in the way of gathering the information you need to achieve the best results. It doesn’t keep you from sharing the credit that needs to be shared. Humility allows you to acknowledge your mistakes".
