An exploration of Values

Our values serve as a compass, pointing out what it means to be true to ourselves. When we honour our values on a regular and consistent basis life is good, life is fulfilling.

When values are fully defined and elaborated upon they become a powerful tool in allowing us to take the appropriate choices as we approach a major crossroad or get off track.

The process of eliciting values can be difficult. Often we intellectualise or even fantasise about what are the right, the desirable, or the socially acceptable values. When exploring values we need to delve into our lives, look for what we pay attention to, the repeated patterns of behaviour, what we are motivated by and what we are turned off by.
