I’ve got homework for my online business class, listing my values in the four areas below. Somehow it seems as if I didn’t come up with enough.

 

MY GREATEST ASPIRATIONS

Be the best possible wife, relative, friend, colleague.

Be the best possible writer and help others achieve their writing goals.

Be remembered after I die. 

Write words that resonate and perhaps even offer comfort to others.

Be creative. 

 

MY RELATIONSHIP TO THE WORLD

As I said above, be the best possible wife, relative, friend, colleague

Go back to doing some sort of meaningful volunteer work, instead of just volunteer work that’s professionally useful.

 

MY DUTY

Turn in good work on time.

Provide good value for my fees.

Earn money. 

Pull my weight within my marriage. 

Exceed expectations, when possible.

 

MY WEAKNESSES

My parents measured success in money and things. Even though I disagree in principle, I can’t help feeling the more I earn, the better I am.

I need recognition and praise.

I’m a slob. I don’t like putting things away or cleaning. 

I’m not as assertive as I should be in my marketing.
