Non-Negotiable Core Value

Jack Shephard · #1 11-10-2010, 11:00 PM

I was reading a friends site and the site listed several things and one of them was a non-negotiable core value. I just thought I would start this thread and see what some of our AFF families non-negotiable core values are. They might be religious or not, but just curious if any of us would like to mention some.

One of mine is a tag on my emails that I send. It is Live like a Champion. That is not negotiable for me. Champions have great highs in their life but it is when no one is watching, i.e. in practice or studies, that one grows from a competitor into a Champion. A Champion is made in the painstaking hours that proceed a let down, or lesson learned, and preceding the moment the when everything clicks.

So what are some of your non-negotiable core values?

Respect. Respect yourself, respect others. Every rule I've ever made and enforced in my home goes back to this.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

I fulfill all the law in living this precept.

Honesty

When you give up what you know to be true about yourself to win at someone else's game, everyone looses. Don't allow others to define who you are.

Yes , I especially try to emphasis regardless of social class or race. I seriously can't handle judgmental people.

Some good ones here. It seems that some peeps on AFF don't want to participate. It seems that participation is not a core value to many.

LOL

I will fight like a pit bull to protect my marriage and children. Not sure if this is what you are looking for- but it's me

I would call this complete dedication. Reading this brought to mind something. Some people would fight like a pit bull for their religious beliefs. I fight for a relationship not a religion.
