What motivates you in life? What helps you have the energy and perseverance each day to keep going?
We all have different motivations. Some are selfish, and some are altruistic, but they often come down to our values. What we value will ultimately motivate us in our lives.
We want to do the work to recognize our values so we can focus on them and let them empower us to live a thriving life.
On today’s show, we discuss how values direct our lives and keep us from getting distracted or off course.
Values Keep Us Connected to Our Purpose
- Values are like a bridge between the wisdom of God and our everyday lives
- Values give a specificity to eternal principles and allow you to connect with them.
- Jim Dobson “I believe it [the midlife crisis] is more a phenomenon of a wrong value system than it is the age group in which it occurs. All of a sudden you realize that the ladder you've been climbing is leaning against the wrong wall.”
Values are a Great Filter
- Values inform your decisions and responses to life.
- If you do not choose, someone else will choose for you.
- “Your values are tested daily by those who do not embrace them.” John Maxwell
Values help you keep score
- Values force you to face reality every day: the difference between how you want to live and how you are living.
- You have to discover what’s important to you if you want to make progress.
- Your value score isn’t about the outcome of the day, but the input of that day.
- It’s not about how the day went, it’s about how you went through the day.
- It empowers you because it’s not about what’s outside your control, but what is in your control.
