Let me give you an example of each that was relevant to me:

My KEEP pile. I chose to keep a message from my father that taught me to be careful what you say about people. Growing up I am not sure I heard my father say anything negative about anyone. I am nowhere near what my father was, but I keep it as an important virtue.

My MODIFY pile. I chose to modify something my mother lived by. She thought it was important to be a positive energy. She liked to make people laugh. But along with that maxim was the message that people should not know when things are not going well. Keep smiling. Don’t show anything negative or imperfect. I modified this. Yes, positive energy brings people closer, but it is also important to be human and to let down the happy façade when things are difficult. My belief is that close relationships are built on openness, sharing, vulnerability and support.

My REJECT pile. I remember being an impressionable eight year old. I was in the car with my parents and there was a teenage couple walking down the street with their arms around each other. I heard my mother say to my father; “That’s disgusting. Those kids should know better than to be affectionate like that in public!” A few years later, during my own adolescence, I knew that this belonged in the REJECT pile.
