Values lie behind all your choices
Values are life-style priorities. Know a person's values and you
will have a fair idea what style of life they want to lead.
Each of us is at our happiest, least stressed, most effective and most motivated when
we are living our personal values to the full.
For most people values are unconscious priorities. This brings a risk of being swayed
to do things which match other people's values.
"If you're not living your own values, whose values are you living?"
By taking an inventory of your values, you transform your values into conscious
priorities. Insight into your priority values reveals why certain situations or
circumstances make your heart sing while others raise walls of frustration.
Knowing your values better equips you to take charge of your life and give
yourself the best chance of living the life you desire.
