Are you able to define what "values" mean to you?
To me they are my fundamental beliefs that guide and motivate my actions leading me to live an authentic and happy life.
Values are what you believe are the most important things in life. Everyone’s values are different. We find our values as children, learning from parents and teachers, be that kindness, friendship, listening, etc. But as adults we must discover our own values. Childhood values may stay, but as we become adults and experience life, other values come into play which become hugely powerful in our lives such as family.
Knowing your own values has significant impact on our lives such as
You know your why, your purpose in life, what it is you want out of life.
Knowing your values helps you make good decisions, taking emotion out of the equation and leaving you crystal clear in thought.
This clarity helps you clear the clutter from your life. Knowing what's important, mean you can weed out time and energy wasting things.
It helps with your career path and taking the right job. When you know what's important to you, you can decide on the right type of job and who far up the career ladder you want to progress.
Knowing your values mean that you become laser focused on what you need and motivated to achieve it.
Knowing what you truly believe means there has to be an honesty within yourself. This helps you develop opinions which are really important to you.
This development of your self and your opinions leads to a level of confidence in who you are, it brings stability and safety to your life, which in turn leads to a sense of self respect for you.
This leads to an overall effect of much more happier and fulfilled life.
Knowing your values is vital to your future happiness and successful fulfilled life.
