Values guide our every decision and, therefore, our destiny. Those who know their values and live by them become the leaders of our society. We see leaders from the boardroom to the classroom. If we want the deepest level of life fulfillment, we can achieve it in only one way, and that is by deciding what we value most in life, what our highest values are, and then committing to live by them every single day. Too often people have no clear idea of what's important to them. They waffle on any issue; they never take a stand...
How about you? Do you know what's most important in your life? Do you know what your values are and what you stand for? Because in life every decision to become the person you are meant to be will come down to value clarification...
Let me share one of my values and what it means: Love and warmth: I experience love when I express love, give love to others, or allow myself to receive it. Anytime I'm being warm and supportive of my friends, family, or strangers; anytime I focus on how to help; any time I'm loving toward myself; any time I am able to enhance how others feel... See More....I am using my value "love and warmth"...
As you look at your own values and what's important to you...design them to empower you...let go of all the old rules that dis-empower you and bring you pain.
This was how my value used to look within myself... Love and warmth: I have to feel like I've earned love, I need to be accepted and approved by myself and others. I can't feel like I'm loved unless I'm perfect. I have to be a great mother and wife.
See the difference? I have the same value, but inside the meaning holds 2 different ways of living. I needed to rewrite it to have a more enriched and loving life in every moment!
Take time in the next few days to review your own values and dig deep for what your values really mean to you. Make sure your values empower you!!!
If you want to discuss values in more detail ...go to my website I'll have it listed on the discussion board!!! See you all there!!!
