What Are Your Personal Values?
It’s a nice thing to have a car and know how to drive it but if you don’t know where you want to go and you don’t have something that guides you, you will end up asking for directions, wasting your time and probably you might get lost.
Many of us we found ourselves know what to do, even what kind of an ideal life we want to experience in the future but simply because we don’t have something that guides us we found ourselves, asking for direction, spending a lot of time doing that and lastly we end up getting lost.
“Personal Values can be used as a personal guide in your life.”
In building our ideal life, living our dreams, there is a time requires us to stand for ourselves inside ourselves to be able to push away all the critics, all the difficulties that may appear as big rocks or stones on our way to success and we will be able to win those battles if we do really know what we are doing and what we are standing for with the help of our Personal Values.
Your Personal values describe what is furthermost important for you, it represents what matters most to you. The way you react or respond to people, the way you act or interact to people it is a clear way of how you outline your personal values through which you are or what you are doing, they are just like label inside you but no one can see it until you act.
We have different Personal Values and it depends on what you choose to be yours, some of them are like Health, Family, Happiness, Freedom, Security, Success, Generosity, Service, Wisdom, Integrity, Creativity e. t. c. It’s your choice to choose and decide how many do you want to have but you must prioritize which one should come first and which one should be last.
Think of yourself and ask yourself, “What are my Personal Values”? Write down all your values in one row and what you are currently doing in your life in the other row, then check what you are doing, does it align with your values? If one among the value that you have is Freedom, are you free from what you are doing recently? Or if your value is family, are you really there for your family or years just pass and you don’t even understand what is really going on within them? You know the truth.
If what you are doing does not present your values, change it then and there and the dark secret is that; what you do consistently, continuously or repeatedly, it actually represents who you are, don’t just say one thing and do another thing, but say what you do really mean and do that. If you choose something to be your Personal Value then live within it, dress it and show it, because of your values present who you are but also you become what you value most.
If you never think of setting Personal Value for your life, I’m here to remind you that, machines, phones, or any product that come from the industry they all have instruction manual on how to use them, but human being don’t, so what you say you are, find something to guide your life and stay true to yourself.
