What are Your Values?

True values are as specific to you as your fingerprint - they are the very essence of you: what you’re drawn to, what you inevitably seek out, what you live for.

They are a kind of internal compass, pointing you toward the activities, people, and places that most fulfill you and away from the situations and people that are likely to feel unfulfilling.

If you think of which activities and relationships truly nourish your innermost being, those are your highest values.

Just as no one else can choose your fingerprints - no parent, teacher, political leader, or religious figure - can define your values. Only you can look into your own mind, heart, and soul and discover what is truly most important to you.

Every human being lives moment by moment, with a set of priorities, a set of values, things that are most important to least important in their life. This set of values determines how they perceive, decide and act in life.

Whatever’s highest on that list of values, highest in priority, the thing that’s truly most important, most meaningful, most inspiring, most fulfilling in their life, they spontaneously, intrinsically are driven to fulfill it. And they see whatever happens along the way as feedback and `on the way` instead of `in the way` and failure. But as you go down the list of values, in the hierarchy values, you tend to procrastinate, hesitate, and frustrate in taking action.

Since each of us is unique and has a unique set of priorities or hierarchy of values, what is most important to you may be completely unimportant to someone else or vice versa. Your or their highest values or highest priorities may occur in any of the seven areas of life.

Values are Derived from Voids

Your true values arise from and are therefore determined by your conscious or unconscious voids (what you perceive as most missing in your life). Your empty feeling desires to be fulfilled.

What you perceive as most missing (void) in your life therefore becomes what you perceive as most important (value).

Your underlying private voids drive your overlying public values. Fulfillment means filling full your perceptually empty voids.

Contentment means filling your mental sphere of awareness with content. What is important to you is what you want to import into your sphere of awareness and influence. In all of us there exist voids, mysteries or unknowns that occur in the seven primary areas of life – spiritual, mental, vocational, financial, familial, social and physical.

To some fulfilling their spiritual

mission is most important.

To others expanding their mental faculties and education is most important

To others fulfilling their career and

business success is most important

To others generating and accumulating

financial wealth is most important

To others marriage and developing

a stable family is most important

To others contributing to society and

becoming a leader is most important

To still others keeping fit, handsome

or beautiful and maintaining health

is most important

Your Values Determine What You Perceive to be More or Less Important

Whatever is intermediate between what is high and low on your list of values or hierarchy of values act as means to an end but not the end in mind. All other values below the highest value could be considered means to the end in mind, sometimes considered extrinsic values supporting the intrinsic most value or chief aim.

Whatever is lower on your list of values is where you require motivation from without to get you to do it because it is less important. It is where you procrastinate, hesitate and frustrate. It is where you are undisciplined, unreliable and scattered. It is where you have your greatest chaos, disorder and disorganization.

Whatever is highest on your values you are intrinsically driven from within because it is most important to you. It’s where you’re most disciplined, reliable and focused, it’s where you’re most adaptable and resilient. It’s where you have the greatest order and organization. It’s your most authentic, inspired self.

How Do You Determine Your Values?

There are 3 things you have control over in your life: your PERCEPTIONS, DECISIONS, and ACTIONS.

You have the power to see how everything in your life is helping you fulfill what’s deeply meaningful to you. Taking command of your perceptions and linking whatever happens in your life to what you value most and prioritizing your actions according to your highest values will lead you to expand your self and life mastery.

Mastering your life begins with taking command of your PERCEPTIONS, DECISIONS, and ACTIONS. If you can manage your perceptions, make prioritized decisions and act on them, you can master the power of your mind to live a meaningful and purposeful life.

Anything you perceive as supporting your higher values you label as “good, or terrific”. It elates you and warms you up. Anything you perceive as challenging your higher values you label as “bad, or terrible”. It depresses you and cools you down.

Your current decisions are based upon every past experience that you labeled as being 'positive and supportive to' or 'negative and challenging to' your highest values, all of which remain 'stored' in what some psychologists have called your subconscious mind in the form of seeking impulses and avoiding instincts.

You fulfill a void and value through either a sensory perception or a motor action.
