I write the principles I want to live by on a regular basis. They’ve remained fairly consistent over the years.

1. Everything is connected.

Therefore, I want to be mindful that every action I take will eventually come back to me.

2. Everyone knows everything, eventually.

Therefore, I want to be sure I act with transparency with a desire to be fair.

3. I know nothing.

Therefore, I want to be curious and always seek to listen and learn.

I fail at some of these regularly. But it’s been important to come back to them and validate my actions and consider ways to improve.
