My Personal Code of Ethics
1.
Be kind. (It is so important to remember this
when my first instinct in certain situations is to be selfish, curt, impatient,
whiney, etc.)
2.
Be happy. (No one likes to be around people who
are continually depressed, crying, having a bad day, or complaining.)
3.
Be enthusiastic. (Never lose my excitement, joy,
and passion for the things I love or my missionary "zoo face.")
4.
Do my best. (Whether it is typing a paper,
cleaning the bathroom, or talking to a person, I can only reach my potential
when I am exerting all my effort and doing my very best. This is what brings
true peace and satisfaction at the end of the day.)
5.
Put the Lord first. (Blessings always come when
I sacrifice to put the Lord first, whether that is aligning my will with His,
choosing things to fill my time that are gospel related rather than social
related, or standing up for what is right in difficult situations.)
6.
Smile as much as possible. (Sister Dalton
challenged the Young Women to smile every day. Smile even at strangers. A genuine smile
is true beauty.)
7.
Look for unexpected/small opportunities to
serve. (Small, meaningful acts of service foster love and bring others to
Christ. An inspired act of service can be the answer to a person's prayer. Serving others is the principle way to have charity, the pure love of
Christ.)
8.
Be healthy. (This includes getting enough rest, having
personal time to rejuvenate, scheduling my time to reduce stress, eating
healthy food, and exercising.)
9. Love more than judge. (When I am tempted to
judge a person’s appearance, motivations, or actions, replace that judgmental
thought with thoughts of God’s love for each person, their individual worth, and
the fact that I don’t know what has happened in their day or in their life to
make them the way they are.)
