I just joined AoM and am impressed with the quality I find here- quickly becoming a fan. I bought the 30day ebook and look forward to working through it. The Values exercise was beneficial, as it has been awhile since I went through the exercise. I pulled some old books down and was looking through Covey's First Things First where he says to base our compass not on values but the underlying principles. We generated a family mission statement 2 years ago, when the boys were younger: Our Family: Loves God --Follows God’s Word --Puts others ahead of ourselves --Helps and enjoys each other --Is Patient --Uses encouraging words --Has fun & likes jokes --Forgives & says “sorry” It is time to dust this off, see how we've been doing and what needs attention. This will be a great discussion for dad and his two teenagers tonight (of course we'll let mom join in too). Keep up the good work. Thanks for this Day 1 exercise.

You still have to ponder who you are, what your values are, what matters most, etc. It's just a tool to take that information (your input) and turn it into a living document that you can use and adapt. @Synthetic Friday – It doesn’t do the work for you.
