- Be reliable . When you make a promise , value it. Honor it. Those you make to others, but especially those you make to yourself.
- Own your mistakes . Being wrong isn’t a character flaw. But it can become one if you don’t own up to it. We hate admitting mistakes more than making them , but that’s exactly why it’s so important to learn.
- Respect boundaries . Most people will signal when you’re crossing a line. Try to stop then. Try to spot the signals.
- Protect secrets . If someone confides in you, treat that vote of confidence with respect. Don’t blab.
- Decide with integrity . When in doubt, just a
sk yourself what’s the right thing to do. Your gut will always know . Stop judging . This is hard, but you can practice it. We usually judge others based on their actions or their intentions. Try to replace this tendency with curiosity instead, and you’ll become more compassionate and kind. Be generous . Whatever you have more of than other people, share it with them. Whether it’s time, money, a certain skill, doesn’t matter. As long as you look out for those around you.
