The values we hold are difficult to change and are not very fluid. The process of getting to know oneself and aligning values with those you intend to work closely with

//ASK AND APPLY

The question today is this: Where in your life are your values not aligned with people or processes that are close to you? Work, fitness, relationships… where do you see an opportunity to apply a change to your benefit?

Once you have your answer, you must honor the work and practice.

Apply the concept: Come up with at least one way you can use what you just learned to step into a place that requires you to step toward your new more favorable identity in any role you take on.

As Rumi said, “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.”
