The power of values.
Determining your highest values is one of the most important actions you will ever take.
Values define you. They help you determine what you truly want out of life.
They are the voice in your head telling you whether or not to care about something.
There’s a cost to not knowing and living in alignment with your values.
The world is full of competing values and principles. If you don’t get clear about yours, you will be living in reaction to the value based choices of those around you.
There are two type of values, one more important than the other.
Authentic values emerge from experiences and motivate the choices you make, both good and bad. Identifying these values is incredibly important to living an authentic life.
Aspirational values are outside in motivated and are those you want to be true. These can be adopted through hard work and change
Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
Determining your core values is the key to living your inspired destiny.
You will be able at build a career you love, find or transform a relationship into an intimate, nourishing one that you love, grow your financial freedom, unlock your genius, find joy.
Values have a light and a shadow. Successfully living in alignment with your core values requires understanding the difference.
Your value is the light. But each light has a shadow, which is a flawed or inauthentic way of trying to fulfill a need. Understanding and correcting shadow motivations is critical to living your values.
