Personal values are beliefs and principles that are unique to every individual. They are intrinsic and are core to your being. They influence how you behave, help you form and understand relationships, help you distinguish between what’s important and what’s not, and help you navigate your everyday life.
These values not only extend beyond your personal life they also impact your professional life as well. For example, Jane values family but must work extremely long hours per week in her job. She feels stress and turmoil every time she has to work. In the end, she leaves her job. it should be noted that Jane had the necessary support, but not everyone of us may be as fortunate.
When your values align with your current circumstances, your confidence increases, and your stress is lowered. By aligning your decisions with your authentic self and pursuing goals that resonate with your deepest convictions, you can achieve greater purpose and satisfaction.
The synergy between our values and goals is not merely a matter of convenience; it’s the cornerstone of true contentment. When our aspirations harmonize with our deepest convictions, we not only achieve success but also experience a sense of self-satisfaction that feels greater than material gains.
