• Attentive, the art of mindfulness, requires you to be observant and focused on positive actions towards others. It’s a call to be present, aware, and engaged in meaningful interactions.
• Productivity, the embodiment of action, tasks you with executing goals and aspirations with applied knowledge, skills, and abilities. It’s about achieving objectives that benefit all involved.
• Selfless-Service, the pinnacle, represents the voluntary act of helping others without expecting anything in return. It’s a commitment to giving unconditionally, where overall life satisfaction is heightened through the act of serving others.
