Truth. Love. Courage.

A number of years ago Emma and I wanted to come up with our own motto for how to live our lives that summed up who we were, what we thought and how we behaved. We spent a long time considering what mattered to us and what we thought were the most important elements of ourselves, which led us to the following that I am sharing with you today.

You must live your life with TLC.

Now that doesn't mean the obvious definition of that abbreviation. Instead it means truth, love and courage. Each of which has been split further into a trio of rules to abide by to live life well.

Truth
1. Be honest with people
2. Be true to yourself
3. Be genuine about who you are

Love
1. Be loving, give love freely
2. Be kind and charitable
3. Be generous with your time and spirit

Courage
1. Be brave in the face of danger
2. Be courageous in the face of personal adversity
3. Be courageous, have the courage of your convictions

What do you think of these rules? I aim to live by all of them every single day which isn't always easy but I do believe is right.

Live your life with truth, love and courage. Every single day.
