Our values make us who we are. They guide us and influence how we live our life. We each have a lot of different values within us. And each value may not be equal in priority. These ingrained values help us determine what is important and how we will spend our time. They are the rules and regulations that we have agreed to live by.
So where do our values come from? You form your value system based on your upbringing: where you were raised, how you were raised,what you experienced. Some are social, some are political, others are cultural. You may have inherited values from your ancestors. Values can be handed down through generations. You will have learned your values from what was acceptable and non-acceptable in your home, schools, playground, work places. We have values in almost every area of life. What is the Value of Knowing Your Values? When we are clear on our core values, we can use them to make choices that will create a more peaceful life. Many times there is a gap between what we do and what we would like to do. Where we spend our time and where we would like to spend our time. Sometimes we let society impose their values on us and rule our lives. If we are not living by our true values we may be stressed and unhappy with our lives. We can use our core values as guidance in living the life we will love. Let your values guide you. Can Values Change? As we change and grow our values also can change. We can also change our values in order to grow. Since our values can be based on untrue beliefs and assumptions we can re-examine them and see if they are serving us or hindering us. Changing our values may help in living the life we will love. Have you identified your core values? Make a list of what is really important to you. What triggers deep emotion in you? Chances are there is a value attached to that emotion/reaction. Make a list of your values. I would love to hear your opinion about values and their value in life. Post comments below.
