Keys for developing your core

I was reading Tony Dungy's book Uncommon and at the end of chapter 4 he lists some keys for developing your core (pgs. 35-36).  I was impressed with his list and decided to share it on my blog.

1. Remember that what you do when no one is watching matters.

2. The means matters as much as the ends, if not more

3. Hang in there.  Character is revealed through adversity.

4. Often we grow as much through the little things as we do through the big ones.

5. Truth is critical.  Being truthful is too.

6. Don't rationalize your way around honesty.

7. Don't blow your own horn.

8. Don't be falsely modest; you have amazing gifts.  Just recognize that others do to.

9. You are important, but not indispensible.  The same goes for others.  See yourself as a significant part of the process.

10. Be careful what you do with your resources, gifts, time, and talents.  You've been entrusted with them.

11. Some of the most rewarding times in life are when you have to stand alone, even if you are uncomfortable doing so.

12. Life is hard.  Courage is essential.

13.  Never give up.  Never.

Let me know which one on the list hits home with you (or more than one).

P.S.  Thank you Zach and Jess, I'm enjoying the book!!
