Let’s explore some concepts about core values, how you can define your own and lay the foundation of a value driven life.
A ‘value’ is any tangible or intangible to which you confer a special importance in your life.
Hence, you can value friendship or love; you can value family, liberty, money.
What we do need, though is to prioritize and, as a life exercise, define a system of core values.
‘A value is any tangible or intangible to which you confer a special importance in your life’
Let’s do an exercise leading to discovering your core values:
- On a blank space, brainstorm an free inventory of things that you value. No priority required.
- Select the ten (10) values that you feel are most important to you
- From this ten values, prioritize a top five (5)
- Rank them by discrimination (eg: 3 is more important than 1, 4 is more important than 5, 2 is more important than 4)
- There you go! Say hello to your core value system! The drivers of your decision making and general outlook on life
