MY VALUES
Why set Values?
It is important to set long-term goals within the context of your
values. If the goals you set are out of alignment from these
values, it will make those goals extremely difficult to achieve. For
instance, if you value health, but you set a goal to achieve the top
salesperson's award and do nothing but work all year on that
goal, with no exercise, eating poor foods and getting little sleep,
you might end up in hospital instead of receiving that award!
So list the values that determine the standards that you set. For
example: love, health, truth, happiness, creativity, achievement,
knowledge, passion, freedom and contribution.
Check with your mission statement and note how these values
can help as rudders, steering you on the shortest course to your
mission¾the beacon that illuminates your way.
Clarifying Values

the survey, identify the five values that are most important to
you and write a short definition of what that value means in your
life.
