Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,

Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”

values based decision

make the decision. You were involved as well as
responsible.

responsible for the situation, but you inserted yourself
even though you could have easily avoided it. You were
neither involved nor responsible.

neighborhood, friends, identify a story that reveals your
values in action.

you.
