99 Walks has a lot of core values. 99 of them to be exact.
These are the things that we believe. The way we choose to live our lives. They are part principles and part sparks of inspiration. Some of them may appear to contradict. That’s because we aren’t the same every day. Say yes and say no. Eat less sugar and eat the cupcake. Sometimes, well, sometimes you just need a cupcake. Because without the occasional cupcake, life is too predictable. Too rigid.
We believe in big dreams and hard work, but we also believe in the importance of play and making time for the most important things. And sometimes the most important thing is taking your daughter to the park or playing a card game with your son. We think social media is awesome to connect and dangerous when you start to compare.
Mostly, we created these as our guideposts. A place where we could turn when we need to be reminded of why we do what we do.
I hope they resonate and inspire you.
