Core Values & Roadblocks

Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Proverbs 27:6 Core Values: What are the “must” rules of your life? Core Values are the rules by which you will only play the game of life. They are the Rules of the Road, your Bedrock beliefs. It is not only what you say you believe in, but also what you must practice. You must walk the talk for it to be a core value. These need to be the baseline for all the decisions you make. Any decision not made within the boundaries of these values will cause you anxiety and distress. Decisions made within these boundaries will give you a sense of peace, fulfillment, contentment, and joy. Facing Roadblocks: Roadblocks are the obstacles you see that are keeping you from living out your core values and achieving your goals to the best of your ability. Some examples include: • Not being willing to totally surrender. • Not willing to be content with what you have / can become. • Blaming others – feeling sorry for yourself – feeling victimized. • A deep-set need for affirmation. • Not trusting enough to be intimate. • Not having mentors. • Not being in a favorable situation for growth. • Having one life domain that overwhelms all others preventing growth (e.g., vocation over family). • Not willing to face the truth about yourself or your circumstances. • Being paralyzed by fear.
