Determine Your Core Values
A few years ago I was inspired to develop a set of personal values that have become the foundational tenets of my life. I have discovered that having a set of timeless guiding principles, or core values, enables me to live a life that has direction, purpose, vision and results. Core values speak to our intrinsic beliefs about ourselves - who we are, what we are about and why we do what we do. Developing core values is not only beneficial to yourself but also to the people around you.
Core values enable you to discriminate between events, people and things, so that you are giving your very best time and effort to the things that matter to you. They allow you to develop a sense of self-honesty for what you truly care about in life. What I’ve discovered is that the fewer core values you have, the more you will be able to get down to the nitty-gritty of what you really want to see happen in your life and you what you want to be about. Your chances of making a mark are greatly increased when you determine what your true core values are.
