Our Life-Values are important in defining who we are! When we have a full understanding of our Life-Values we have more DIRECTION in our Life and less CONFUSION. It is also our Life-Values that help in setting our Personal Boundaries.
When we do not have a good grasp on our Life-Values we are more adrift in our Life and in more confusion. We have much more of a challenge setting our Personal Boundaries. When we are unsure of our Life-Values we look outside of our self for direction in our Life. It is difficult to find our TRUE Life-Values when we have LOW SELF-ESTEEM OR SELF-CONFIDENCE. It is a challenge and is very much like the 'chicken and egg' thing; which comes first the Life-Values or the Self-Worth? They work together, as we define our Life-Values our Self-Worth improves and as our Self-Worth improves we are able to refine our Life-Values.
When we have a full grasp of our Life-Values we KNOW how we want to live our Life. We no longer need outside confirmation of our Life-Values. We also realize that our Life-Values are OURS and others may or may not have the same Values. I do not need others to have MY VALUES and I do not have to ACCEPT another person's Value. I can RESPECT another person's Value without accepting as my own. I can accept the INDIVIDUALITY of others and still HONOR my Values. This comes with more SELF-CONFIDENCE AND A HIGHER SELF-ESTEEM.
It amazes me how this is not more COMMONLY KNOWN and the importance of developing our Personal Life-Values. These Values like our Beliefs are not able to be IMPOSED on us to have any real worth. The individual needs to find their own Values and Beliefs before either has any worth in our Life.
