"How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us,and, keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and
to know what really matters most." -Stephen Covey
Every now and then I like to munch on some chicken nuggets and whenever I get a taste for them I make a trip to Chick-fil-a. To me, their chicken nuggets are awesome! I am sure you are wondering what does Chick-fil-a have to do with purpose. It is my belief that there are many things in the natural we can use to explain spiritual truths and principles.
S. Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fil-a said, "Our decision to close on Sunday was our way of honoring God and directing our attention to things more important than our business." It is this fundamental belief which is the premise for how Chick-fil-a has been doing business since the opening of its first restaurant in 1967. How profound for a business man to publicly state that there are more important things in life than their business. This principle is embedded in the organization's core values.
Core Values are operating philosophies or principles that guide your internal conduct (how you deal with yourself) as well as your relationships with others. Core values uniquely define how you operate, function and live, as an individual. For example, integrity, faith, determination and excellence are considered core values or operating principles.
Here are some essentials to assist with defining your core values:
- Take a fresh look at who you are and what you believe
- Assess how your core values align with your purpose
- Core values assist in your ability to make life choices and business decisions
- Connect your core values with your purpose to become a peak performer
To your destiny...defined!
