| Do you
know what your values are? |
|
Values
are what we truly stand for. They are what we believe are
fundamental to our happiness and fulfillment, and are those emotional
states that we want to experience on a consistent basis.
Usually when someone finds themselves in a situation where
it’s
tough to make a decision, the reason is that they are unclear about
what they valued most within that situation. Our values are a
compass for our lives and ultimately our choices. They guide
our
every decision and when you knows what is most important to you, making
a decision is effortless.
Long Term Happiness - Personally
& Professionally!
The only way for us to achieve
long-term happiness
is to live by our highest ideals and to do this we must be absolutely
clear about what our values are. However most people have no
idea
who they are, who they want to be, or how they want to feel!
They
live their lives in reaction to the events around them, hoping, wishing
and waiting that it will all work out. Or worse, they know
what
they want to have; more time, money, love, health etc, without ever
knowing who they want to be, or who they have to be to achieve
it. All they know is that they want more!
If you want to know what it feels like not to live congruently with who
you are and what you believe in, make a decision that doesn’t
keep your values intact. The secret to happiness …
no
matter how tough the going gets … is to live congruently
with
your values.
You will never look back with fondness or pride at the moments you
traded your values for the easy ride or for convenience. You
will
always remember those times you chose to live congruently with who you
are and for what you believe in, especially if there is a personal cost
to you.
