LOREENA MCKENNITTS COMPASS POINTS

...And just as one builds a company’s mission statement based on values and principles, I have done the same thing for myself. Certain principles have become my compass points. I reference them whenever I make important choices and decisions, professionally or personally. They are things to which I strive and am pleased to share some of them with you...

Be compassionate and never forget how to love

Think inclusively

Reclaim noble values such as truth, honesty, honour, courage.

Respect one's elders and look to what they have to teach you

Be empatheticLook after the less fortunate in society.

Promote and protect diversity

Respect the gifts of the natural world.

Set your goals high and take pride in what you do.

Cherish and look after your body, and, as the ancient Greeks believed, your

mind will serve you better

Put back into the community as there have been those before you have done

the same and you are reaping what they sowed.

Participate in and protect democracy. It does not thrive as a spectator sport.

Undertake due diligence in everything

Seek balance and space, and solitude.

Don't be afraid to feel passionate about something

Learn to be an advocate and an ambassador for good

Be mindful of your limitations.

Indulge and nurture your curiosity as it will keep you vital

Take charge of your life and don't fall into the pit of entitlement.

Assume nothing and take nothing for granted

Things are not necessarily what they seem
