Core Values
Happy Friday Everyone,
The following are core values outlined by Ryan Hawks, through the Flyin' Ryan Foundation. Many of you who ski or snowboard in The Valley might be familiar with who he was. He wrote these core values before a skiing accident claimed his life.
He wanted to...
Live every day, all day
Never stop exploring life
Never lose my adventuresome spirit
Be the best friend I can be
Be the best brother, son, uncle I can be
Play like I am 13
Look out for others
Look out for myself
Look out for our surroundings
Be self-sufficient
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
Work hard
Live easy
Live simply
Ryan was freeskier who grew up in VT and was a founding member of the Green Mountain Freeride Team and an admired competitor, and he was known as “Flyin' Ryan” on the Subaru Freeskiing World Tour.
I love personally love his simple core values and have them posted in both of my kid's rooms. With time on our hands these days, it might be a good meditative practice to think about your own core values. What do you stand for? What is important to you? What do you hope to accomplish in your near future or in the long term?
Even if it feels hard to identify your own core values, take a good look at Ryan's and think about what they might mean to your life. Core values are values that we should live by in the good times and in times of struggle. Now more than ever we have to rely on these values to move us forward.
As we head into the weekend, find a moment of quiet and ask yourself if you are living in a way that is true to your core values. Encourage others around you to examine their core values too. Maybe ask your parents about their values. It might be a good way to start an interesting discussion or create a list of your family's core values.
Good luck, and I hope you all have a rejuvenating and relaxing weekend! As always, please reach out if you need me.
Be Well,
Mrs. Hempey
