What Do You Really Believe In?

What are your core values? These help you to identify what you stand for. These are meant to be non-negotiables in your life. If an employer violated these (core values), you’d quit. They guide your world-view and help to shape your decisions. They help to spell out who you are. They follow you wherever you go and determine how you go about accomplishing your life’s work, your mission statement. Some examples of common core values are: Honesty & integrity, Teamwork/collaboration, Being others-focused, Kind, Patient, Lifelong learning, Continual improvement, Disciplined, Pursuit of excellence, Never complacent, Never satisfied, Increasing value in whatever you do, Simplicity, Faithful, Loyal, Committed, Forgiving, Respectful, Trustworthy, Generous, Humble, Joyful, Persevering, Loving, Peaceful, Content, Wise / Discerning, and Hopeful / Optimistic. People inherently use their core values to assist them in making good decisions. One can make decisions faster and more consistently if they base their decisions on their core values. They can also communicate their decisions more effectively so that others understand them when the decision is based on a known core value. The clearer you are on what you stand for, the easier it will be for you to make good decision. On the other hand, when we act in such a way that violates one of our core values, or when we make a decision that violates our core values, we inevitable regret it. Without exception regrets in life can be traced to the violation of that person's core values. Many of us have difficulty forgiving ourselves and we don't know why. It's because we violated one of our core values. When we think about it, we can't believe we could have ever done that. So what are your core values? Do you have regrets in life?
