No Matter What

We all have them.  They are things that are so dear, so critical to our beliefs, our morals, our faith, our very being, that no matter what, we would never compromise.  Have you ever considered your 'no matter whats?'  Our NMW's define who we are.  They shape our character and act as a window to our soul.  

When I think about this it blows my mind.  As a father, a husband, a business owner, a coach, a den leader, a church leader and a son I have expectations to meet and lives to impact in potentially powerful ways.  If I don't have strict and defined 'no matter whats' in my life it could be devastating.

Do you think that there would be less divorce if men and women upheld their vows, no matter what?.  Would our economy recover faster if our business owners where always honest and fair, no matter what?  

Then I think of my kids and I wonder if I am doing a good enough job of instilling some no matter whats in their lives? Imagine never having to worry about teenage pregnancy because you know your child has a 'no matter what.'  Imagine not having to wonder if you child is under the influence of anything because they have a 'no matter what.'

What are your no matter whats?
