than having a vague idea of what you
think is really important to you.
A strong, healthy and well-defined
value system is the ultimate code by
which you live your life. It becomes
your compass, similar to the naviga-

find its way when soaring through
the expanded blue skies. Without a
clear knowledge of what exactly your
value system is, you are living your life
without a navigational map.

Your values are your ultimate filter
system. They allow you to prioritize
what is right, for you – and wrong

personal watchdog, therefore allowing
into your immediate environment only
those things that are really important
to you, and naturally the things that are

value system is will have a massive
impact on your career, bank account
and sanity. It will clear things up,
help you understand why you prefer
the company of certain people, and
