"The secret to achieving inner peace lies in understanding our inner core values – those things in our lives that are most important to us – and then seeing that they are reflected in the daily events of our lives.” - Hyrum W. Smith -

Earlier this year at The Heritage Institute’s Annual Meeting I had the privilege of meeting Hyrum.  I appreciate the perspective he shares in his new book “The 3 Gaps”, which is summed up in the above quote.  For those who aren’t familiar with Hyrum Smith, he founded Franklin Quest Company and created the Franklin Planner. In 1997, Franklin Quest merged with Stephen Covey to form Franklin Covey.   

Hyrum’s secret to achieving “inner peace” is an essential part of our process focused on creating ALIGNMENT with yourself and within your family.  So the exercise of listing WHAT MATTERS mentioned in my “Did you know...LEGACY” post can be one of the first steps to “inner peace” or alignment.  However, if you are like me, a blank sheet of paper with the words “WHAT MATTERS?” on it had my mind spinning…and I needed some help getting started. 

Here’s another idea to help you take the first step to identify what’s important to you for your family...print out and complete this quick one-page assessment found on the Getting Started page.  To move closer to your desired outcomes you must first determine the GAPS between what you want and where you currently are. Then prioritize which GAPS are most important for you to work on first.  This will help you begin intentionally LIVING YOUR LEGACY today!
