We have learned today that healthy organizations are clear about their mission purpose and core values. The same can be said of individuals. We have identified eight core values that we believe are vital to creative human development in today's changing society and world. There are:
1. Spiritual Growth
2. Personal Wholeness
3. Healthy Relationships
4. Cultural Literacy
5. Creative Imagination
6. Vocational Purpose
7. Social Responsibility
8. Servant Leadership
How would you describe your core values? How do your core values give shape, meaning, direction and fulfillment to your way of living? Which values do you want to cultivate more fully? How are you doing this? What does it mean to "make a life, not just a living." What does it mean to integrate one's values into a conscious, creative, courageous and compassionate way of living?
Why do so many people live "unconscious" and "aimless" lives? Why do so many Americans think the pursuit of pleasure and power exhausts the meaning of life? How does living in a mass media entertainment and commercial advertising society automatically pre-condition and shape our values for us? How does one break free of the unconscious collective, the corporate consumerist cultural "matrix" to become a more aware, innovative, creative and authentic person?
