I Believe …  revisited

An interesting exercise is to sit down and think about your lifestyle and your aspirations and trying to stay within the space between the two consider what are your beliefs in as far as they have / should have a practical implication for the way you live.  Write them down.  Put them away from a while, and then go back to them at a later date.  Here is the list I made a few weeks ago:

I believe in …

… living simply.
… building a secure, happy and fulfilling family life.

… developing my skills & interests, knowledge & understanding.

… keeping fit and competing.

… living in a good relationship with the 'natural world'.

… contributing to the wellbeing of others.

… everyone having good food, clean water and personal security.

… treating people with justice.

… responsible freedom of choice.
