We tend to know corporations slogans, brand identities, and organizations mission statements.  Yet, I was thinking how many families have a distinct identity?  

I was talking to my sister-in-law a few years ago and I was telling her that she should stop something (cannot remember what it was about), but I do remember her telling me that “the Flores family never quits!”  She said that statement like she believed it!  Thinking about that the other day, I realized she was telling me one of their “family values.”

What is one of your family values?

-We never quit.

-We help one another.

-We are honest about our problems.

-We tell the truth even when it hurts.

 

I think more families need these kind of statements.  They help define expectations and help shape our actions.
