So, more than ever, we need the clarity that comes from understanding our personal values. Recognizing and living by your values not only brings focus and direction but also the profound fulfillment of aligning your life’s actions with what truly matters to you. Feel free to use this guide, that will walk you through identifying, prioritizing, and implementing your values to streamline your life, making decisions simpler and more aligned with your desired outcomes.
Discovering Your Core Values
The journey to a fulfilling life begins with identifying your core values. This critical first step involves introspection and honesty with oneself. It is not enough just to wish for things. You must action! Avoid that state of self-content and always staying into your comfort zone! Make a comprehensive list of everything that holds significance to you, no matter how small it may seem. What is important for you, it’s not the same with what’s important for others. We are unique human-beings, and today’s categorization of everything is what makes our lives miserable. This exercise isn’t just about acknowledgment but about embarking on a path of self-discovery. Never let yourself be influenced about what others do or think. They only want to bring you down, to their level. Avoid this people! You are unique and uniqueness is never liked. People love to live in a standard society, with standard rules and washed-out personalities people.
If you stand-out too much by being different than average, you already made yourself a lot of enemies!
How to Improve Your Life
Prioritizing Your Values
Start by preparing a list with what’s important to you, no matter how trivial or strange it might sound. Embrace your uniqueness, and don’t be afraid to accept it. What is the most important to you in life? What are your priorities? Write-down 5 to 10 most important things for you right now. With your list in hand, the next step is prioritization. Whether your list comprises 10 or 100 values, arranging them from most to least important will reveal where your heart truly lies. This hierarchy of values will serve as a compass, guiding your decisions and actions.
Aligning Your Life with Your Values
A reassessment of your prioritized list is necessary to ensure it resonates with the life you aspire to lead. Adjustments may be needed to reflect the true essence of your desires. As I said earlier, forget about “what people might think”. This list is “only for your eyes”! This refined list of values is your blueprint for a life that is not only meaningful but deeply satisfying.
We spent already a life-time trying to be “like-others”, to integrate, to be accepted. Being average means having an average life, without dreams or aspirations. Ther is a Secret Power of Being Unique that will drive you to do amazing things! We are living for ourselves and not for the others!
Choosing Careers and Hobbies That Reflect Your Values
Your career and hobbies should reflect your core values. If your top values include love, contribution, and peace, engaging in work or activities that contradict these principles will lead to dissatisfaction. Aligning your professional life and leisure pursuits with your values is crucial for lasting happiness and fulfillment.
It’s time to live for us, to forget about what our parents wants us to do or be in life! This is only OUR decision, and no one has the right to influence us. We want to live OUR dreams, not theirs! Don’t forget, that even if they mean well, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”! Don’t forget the Hidden Strength of Individuality! It’s like a magic power!
Creating Value-Aligned Habits
Building habits that support your values is essential. If health is a priority, your lifestyle should include healthy eating and regular exercise. Examine your current habits and identify any that may be detracting from your values. What is currently having a bad influence on you? Your “friends”, your environment, your habits? Think about it and make the proper adjustments! Life will be grateful and you will soon find yourself in a situation that was unbelievable so far! Suddenly everything will start to work better in your life. For some people you will start to suddenly be “very lucky”, but we both know that luck doesn’t have anything to do with it! It is YOU who are bringing your own destruction or improve your life beyond the wildest dream. Don’t forget what Edgar Cayce was always saying “mind is the builder”! Cultivating habits that reinforce your values will make living by them feel effortless. Meditate, relax, live a healthy life and always be in contact with the nature around you, because nature means life and positive energy!
Surrounding Yourself with the Right People
The influence of those around you cannot be underestimated. Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and encourage you to live according to your values. Surround yourself with people that don’t judge you, that don’t try to control you and especially who don’t tell you what you can or can’t do! They are limited people, regurgitating what they have been told their whole life: be average, comply with regulations and don’t stand out! These people are living machines! They have forgot what life is about! They are full of limitations, and they want to impose that on others also! Being selective about your social circle is not about exclusion but about nurturing an environment that supports your growth and fulfillment.
Making Decisions Based on Your Values
Armed with a clear understanding of your values, making decisions becomes significantly easier. Every choice, from career moves to personal relationships, should be guided by your values, not by what other are saying or try to impose on you! Remember: unique is great, living your dreams is better and living your OWN life is perfect!
