the worksheets there deciding what was actually important in my life as well as
what major goals I have. I also looked up the Nine Noble Virtues online and
spent some time meditating over them. They each have a brief statement as to
what they mean in the Troth. I took those meanings and made them relevant to my
life. Then I worked them into “I Will” statements and added a tenth virtue so
now it’s the Noble Nine + One. Now I’ve written it out, and typed it out and I
will post it here and on my blog so that I will see it everywhere I go. That
way I will be reminded that I have a set of values that I want to live by.

 

So I highly recommend that everyone do this, it will make
your life a lot easier in the long run by giving you a road map to decision making.

Lessons & tips: You're going to re-write this a lot so have lots of paper and colored pens.
