Gratitude. Integrity. Love. Ten simple ways to live with purpose and kindness every day.

Life may be complicated, but sometimes the simplest truths bring us back to center. These ten guiding principles, inspired by the wisdom of the Ten Commandments, remind us of the values that never go out of style—faith, gratitude, kindness, and integrity.
1. Put God first in every part of your life.
2. Don’t let idols—whether things, people, or habits—take His place in your heart.
3. Honor God’s name with love and respect.
4. Make time for rest, reflection, and renewal.
5. Respect and honor those who came before you.
6. Cherish and protect the gift of life.
7. Be faithful and true in love and relationships.
8. Respect what belongs to others—never take what isn’t yours.
9. Speak with honesty, kindness, and integrity.
10. Practice gratitude for what you have instead of longing for what others possess.
