• Purpose – Align what you do with what really matters.
• Celebration – Celebrate what you got done, even if it was different
than what you planned or intended.
• Choice – Choose how to spend your time. You probably have too
much to do, so choose things that matter first.
• Emergence – Ask questions and really listen to the answers. Together
with others you can become something bigger.

the situation at hand.
