99 Walks has lots of Core Values. 99 of them to be exact! In celebration of 99 Walks Day — our official, unofficial holiday celebrated on the 99th day of each year — we asked Pack Members to share their favorite core value and why that Core Value – out of all the others – resonates most deeply. The response was overwhelming, thank you! Here’s some of what you shared:
Core Value 13: Simple is Good
Simple is good because at its base it encompasses all of the 99 core values as well as how to uncomplicated life. Simple is good … keep things simple … do things simply because they are good … doing great things takes simple actions. Melissa S.
Core Value 8: Zig When Others Zag
It is hard to pick a ONE favorite! ZIG when others ZAG...You just gotta do your thing, even when the crowd is going the opposite way. It tells me to trust my inner compass to get me where I need to be even when the tribe is going a different way. Edell W.
Core Value 35: Remember that we all breathe the same air, are warmed by the same sun and gaze up at the same stars.
Everyone is the same. Strive for similar success.Also fun to look up when you’re away from loved ones at the same time. Shelli H
Core Value 1: Choose Joy
My biggest goal in life is to simply ENJOY IT! :) if it brings me stress or costs me my peace, it’s not worth it. I have spent too much of my life trying to do right by society and fit in and push myself to be something I’m not. Now I just want to be happy! Lauren M.
Life is too short. Leslie N.
Life is precious; joy is life’s reward. Sharon D.
Core Value 3: Every day, you have the choice to make the people around you feel good or feel bad. Which you choose defines the person you are.
I feel like the world would be a better place if we all thought a little more before we respond. April A.
Core Value 52: It is never too late for a new start, a new adventure or new life.
People often think they are stuck and right now I am trying to embrace this value because my career is currently on pause and I keep thinking it will be okay even though I am 53. Who knows, maybe it will be the best new start ever! Dodie N.
I was ready to give in to my age and health problems. I started 99 walks instead. Patricia S.
Core Value 15: Celebrate Our Differences
We all have something good to bring to the table. Sometimes we get so caught up in wanting to be around those who we agree with, who do things the same way, and on, we cut ourselves off from. Edell W.
Core Value 34: Practice Kindness
It’s good for them and good for you. You can do it no matter how much money you have. It requires you to really think about other people. It can become a habit. The better you get at it, the better person you will feel yourself to be and the more satisfied you will feel about your life. It encompasses all virtues. Pam S.
Core Value 11: Be Wildly Grateful
Gratitude fosters a positive view of life's circumstances. I'm grateful for all 99 core values. Laura S.
Core Value 98: Be Brave
It takes bravery to do hard things & bravery doesn’t come easy to some. Keri H
52. It is never too late for a new start, a new adventure or new life
I was ready to give in to my age and health problems. I started 99 walks instead. Patricia S.
