Deb, thanks for the great post and question.  This ties back to some teaching I associate most closely with Steve Keating (@LeadToday).  In the end, our actions demonstrate our true core values.  We do override those core values from time to time in the name of expediency or comfort or other things.  However if we consistently choose comfort or exxpediency, maybe those are truly our core values.

To me, that's the central reason why we need to act from the best of who we are.  When we apply our best to the highest good, we make a significant impact.  Thanks for adding your great content to the blog!

Mike...
