Inner Values and Mixed Motives

Last week I gave everyone a handout of the inner values I collected from all three classes.
Very interesting and thought provoking. I asked each of you to pick 5 that you would most like to connect more deeply to. One way to do that would be to ask yourself 2 questions: "1. How am I living this value. 2. How am I not living this value."

We also discussed "mixed motives". It seems that recognizing mixed motives and intention is more important than trying to be perfect. How easy it is to harshly judge oneself.
If you have a mixed motive recognize it and make more room for the "bright intentions and less room for the dark ones".
