Values

Nick Budincich's
Core Values

My objective in life is to create good, happy, fulfilling experiences and memories for myself and everyone I interact with.

Show love. Be kind. Lead with empathy. Respond thoughtfully.

Make people feel loved. Show kindness. Lead with empathy, listen well, respond with kindness and thoughtfulness. Act towards others with the realization that every human is experiencing life with the same depth and complexity as you are.

Be transparent and honest

Share openly. Speak truthfully. Don’t hide things from others.

Take care of yourself

Reflect, do therapy, move & exercise, do fulfilling work, do fulfilling hobbies, do nothing sometimes. Find balance. Find a healthy way to live and be happy, and continue spending time on that pursuit.

Do the right thing

Make the hard decision if needed, but do what’s right, what’s needed, what’s good.

Be fun and playful

Life is more fun when you’re being playful and fun and affectionate and silly. Some people take well to it, and those are likely the people you will attract and align with.

Be genuine

Speak, act, and live in a sincere and authentic way. Be free of pretense. No politics, no BS.

Be open-minded

Truly absorb and consider other viewpoints, options, etc. Don’t assume you know. Remember certainty is a neurochemically-powered emotion, not just reason.

Constantly learn, improve, grow, and evolve

Find wonder in life. Grow and evolve as a human. Be better when you can be.

Over-communicate

Communicate fully. Share context. State assumptions, don’t assume others know.

Get context

You can do a better job if you know more. Don’t assume you know, ask or look it up.

Don’t be afraid to commit

Spend more time and energy on things that are fulfilling. Don’t feel you need to do a little of everything; commit to some things more deeply.
