Values - Guiding the 'Who' behind the 'You'

Mark Manson in this article breaks down what personal values are and why they carry significance in our lives. He also explores how these values play a substantial role in influencing our choices and behaviours.

To make it practical, he has outlined a straightforward four-step guide:

1. Identify Your Values: Take some time to reflect on what truly matters to you. What principles define your essence?

2. Clarify Your Values: Dive deeper into each value. What do they mean to you, and how can you embody them in your daily life?

3. Prioritise Your Values: Acknowledge that not all values hold the same weight. Focus on those that resonate with you most profoundly.

4. Live Your Values: This step, though challenging, underscores the significance of making choices consistent with your values, even when faced with difficulties.

IMHO aligning values in relationships (family/business) is vital in forging long-term partnerships.
