I use three letters to guide my personal and professional decisions.

They are … I N W

And they stand for integrity, needs and wants.

When I make integrity the most important thing in my life followed by uncovering and meeting my personal needs, then all those things I think I want either pale in significance or get fulfilled anyway.

Action – How can this work for you?

First, understand what integrity means to you. What are your core values, standards and beliefs?

Second, know your needs. Are they security, esteem, community or something else?  Figure out what they are and then get them met.

When you honor your integrity and meet your needs, all else is unimportant.

Integrity first, needs second, wants last. INW can serve as your guide to creating a peaceful, focused and successful life.
