This heading comes from the [VIA character strengths survey](https://www.viacharacter.org/account/register) that I’ve taken many times. It’s a free and helpful way to narrow down the values you hold most dear.
The full name for this value is Appreciation of Beauty, Excellence, and Superior Performance. I’ve shortcut it here because I have always appreciated excellence and superior performance. I see it in some people and some organizations, like Linking Your Thinking, and I strive for it myself. Appreciation of excellence doesn’t need extra attention.
But being aware of beauty does. Especially the tiny moments of beauty in everyday life.
Such as the red of these cherries against the white dish, their roundness, the way they are scattered in the dish, their little green stems with the brown ends.

I want to become ever more present, ever more aware and appreciative of moments of beauty. I want to [[Savour]]. Through savouring, the mundane becomes sacred.
