What are the values you live by? The 4 Cardinal Virtues can help guide you...

We face tough decisions everyday. As a parent, spouse, business professional, you encounter several circumstances each day which test your patience, your character and your peace of mind. 
A Personal Mission Statement is a tool that can guide you and help shape your decisions, priorities and reactions, based on your values and the vision you have for your life. It is a condensed, focused representation of your Ethos. A helpful reminder from the person you want to be. But first you need to know your values.

"Give me a place to stand, and I shall move the world” - Archimedes

​Clarifying your life purpose makes it easier to navigate through life, when you have a sense of where you want to go. Your psychological well being is empowered, when your actions and words are aligned with your core values. Life is generally good and you feel more content, confident and satisfied. When your behavior doesn’t match your values, you develop a sense of uneasiness that swells inside of you preventing you from reaching your state of eudaimonia. ​

The Four Cardinal Virtues that can help you :  
  • phronêsis (Practical Wisdom - knowing good from bad) 
  • dikaiosunê (Justice, fairness, and kindness in our relations with others.) 
  • andreia (Wise courage and endurance in response to our pain and anxiety.)
  • sôphrosunê (Temperance - Wise self-discipline in response to our desires.) 
Historians can’t agree on where this classification originated. It appears to go back as far as Plato or Socrates, although some argue that they can be traced back to about the 12th-8th centuries B.C., to Homer’s epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey. Later on the Stoics adopted them, and Christians followed...So there must be something very powerful in these.
