I try to live a purposeful, intentional and deliberate life.

Maybe its because I fear what would happen if I don’t live like that.

I’ve developed 11 principles I strive to live by. (That doesn’t mean I always live by them, but I seek to strive after them).

1. Think, say and act under the lordship of Christ as I seek God’s kingdom above all else. 
2. Develop a disciplined work ethic rooted in grace.
3. Accept only quality work, which requires being fully prepared and fully present. 
4. Treat everyone with respect.
5. Cultivate a posture of life-long learning  -  own my growth. 
6. Seek to live and serve beyond myself. 
7. Seek, embody and speak truth rooted in love. 
8. Take responsibility for my actions. 
9. Don’t do everything – just do what matters most. 
10. Live marked by love. 
11. Refuse to default to comfort and security. 

Do you have a set of principles that you try to live by? If so, what are they? I’d love to hear them.
