“There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do.” —Freya Stark

I love to create tools to help women discover the delta of what makes us happy where we want to be versus where we actually are. In today’s society, we have become experts at being busy, but we are often busy doing things that don’t matter or don’t match what we believe in.


Your Turn:
Answer quick: What are the three things you believe in most
strongly? If you can’t answer within sixty seconds, consider
spending some time refl ecting on the values that shape your
life. If you could answer within a minute, your guiding values
are clear. Now, take a look at your day today, and make sure
the things you are doing match what you believe in. (At least as
much as humanly possible.) And don’t forget—if family is on
your “important” list, doing laundry counts as something you
believe in. It is part of running your family.


Today’s Affirmation:
I consistently complete action items that match my beliefs.
