Why You Should Know Your Personal Values...

Values, personal values, and CORE VALUES all refer to the same thing--INTEGRITY! They are character traits of men and woman of Godly character, qualities, standards, or principles. CORE VALUES are a person's driving force and influence their decisions, actions, reactions and behaviors.

Saying, "He's a courageous man" or "She's a generous woman" reflects a person's deepest priorities in life. A righteous man speaks out, even when it's dangerous to do so. A generous woman selflessly gives money or her time to help others.

Besides bravery and generosity, other common values are equality, liberty, compassion, grace, commitment, excellence, valor, ambition,  responsibility, community, family, unity, harmony, health, leadership, love, prestige, respect, service, enterprise, spirituality, and wealth.

Everyone has personal CORE VALUES, even if they don't realize it. Your Most Valuable Asset IS Your Core Values--Belief System!~

Where Your Values Come From...

You inherit some of your values. You learn some values from your parents, teachers, and other influential people in your life. You also take on values from reading and watching TV and from school-of-hard-knocks experience(s).

Your values also reflect the values of the place where you live - your town or city, region, country and politics. And they reflect your generation, i.e., the group of people born around the same year as you.

Core Values last a lifetime. While they may undergo some change through the years, they will always be determined by "tests of character"..."the strength of your character is determined by the integrity of your thought life." 

Benefits of Knowing Your Values...

Why is it important to know what your Core Values are? Simple....so you can make better choices. Your right choices today determine your better future tomorrow!~

People who don't know their CORE VALUES tend to wander around, bouncing from one thing to another, trying to find themselves. They're like puppets, pulled along without any clear direction; easily influenced by the values of others.

Knowing your CORE VALUE helps you:

• Follow a clear set of rules and guidelines for your actions; your belief system. You’re less likely to take the easy way out or chase after short-term gains at the expense of your long-term goals.
• Make good decisions. You quickly know what are good choices for you and what are not.
• Find compatible people, places, and things that support your way of living...synergy determines success!~
• Live with integrity. Integrity here does mean honesty and honor--to be TRUE! Integrity also means wholeness or completeness - being a whole person. Nothing left out. Being true to yourself and others; a strong belief system!
• DOING WHAT"S RIGHT BECAUSE IT"S RIGHT & DOING IT RIGHT YIELDS A RIGHTEOUS LIFE!~
• AND...CAN EVERYTHING YOU DO IN YOUR PRIVATE LIFE BE PUBLISHED AND VIEWED AS RIGHT?
