When you pause and look honestly at your life, it can be hard to know whether you’re living from what truly matters—or just reacting to the world around you. 

So this week, I explored the nature of good intentions, choice, and values. When you clarify what you care about most, it’s easier to live with moral clarity without slipping into self-judgment or ill will, and translate intentions into daily action.
