Everything we think, everything we feel, every action we take is because of our beliefs and values. We sometimes are not aware of it, not conscious of it, but our values shape our decisions and our life is the reflection of our decisions.
Importance Of Values In Our Life.
If we value money more than happiness, our life might be full of expensive things, but there will be no long-lasting joy in that experience. Our values signal what is important to us. They are the emotional state that shows us what is important? and what we want to experience? Imagine how different our life would be if we changed the value of money and replace it with the value of love.
Values For Life!
Creating and stating values consciously can change the direction of life. If we decide to apply any of these values in our life, in our own words, our own life will become more valuable. The following are the topmost values of human life that one can adapt.
Health And Energy
This might be the most important value of all to some people. This will be the most important to some of those who experienced serious health problems. Without physical health, it is very unlikely that we can experience and enjoy all other values at their deepest level. Great health gives you energy and vitality which enables you to dive deeper into the more important things in life and gives more energy and time to those you love.
Make the value of health and energy a priority in your life, by learning what daily nutrition and exercise are best, to fuel your body. What would it take, for you to be at your physical peak? Learn it. Apply it.
Love
The overuse of this word makes it easy to misunderstand the true meaning of it. This is not just romantic love, but the love of all things. True, not judgemental love. The love you have for your family, and friends. The love you have for your favorite things, your passion, and passion. Making love a priority in your life means there is no room for hate or indifference. You could experience love doing anything or with anyone. You could experience Love in yourself, by yourself. How would your life change if you valued love higher?
Gratitude And Appreciation
There’s truly no greater power on earth than gratitude. Real gratitude shuts down all other negative emotions at the moment. Ask yourself, how important is gratitude to you? Well, how important is it for you to feel good? If it is important then you must make gratitude a top value and practice it as a priority every day. It costs you nothing, but it makes you so rich. It takes nothing away from anyone else, but it gives you so much power. How much more magical would your life be? If you lived in a constant state of appreciation for everything that great in your life?
Kindness And Compassion
The world would certainly be a better place if people showed more kindness and compassion. Less judgment, more respect. It’s placing yourself into someone else’s shoes before you judge them. Have you ever noticed how good it feels when you are kind to someone without any reason? It feels good to be kind because it is right to be kind. What would your life be like, what would your world be like? if you value kindness and compassion more?
Integrity
Knowing you do the right thing, even when no one else is watching and no one will know either way. The inner knowing you always do what is right? That brings pride and inner peace. When you value integrity, you value doing what it right? It is such a powerful value that not only make a difference in your own life but also sets a powerful example to all those close to you. Integrity brings honesty and trust. How would your life be different if everyone knew you as a person of integrity?
Giving
This ties in with kindness and compassion. As a human, we built to give. Not just give money or things but give ourselves fully to others in need. To serve, selflessly. Karma always ensures what you give is returned. But that is not why you give. You give because that is your nature. It’s not an effort, it’s natural, it feels good and you know there is no lack. How differently would you feel if you value giving higher in life?
Growth
Human beings are wired to grow. Growth comes from experience, from learning, from failures, from achievements, from intention. Intention to get better. This does not mean get better so you can win. It means getting better so you can give better to the world. So you can experience more, enjoying more. It’s about becoming the greatest version of yourself. Not just for yourself but for others too. Setting an example of what is truly possible. Reaching your highest potential with intention. How much better will your life be, when you value growth higher on your list?
Peace
Nothing more needs to be said. It’s getting to that place of needing nothing. It’s being alone, and being in bliss, presence, being reaction-less, silence at the peak of the mountain. Ask yourself, the rank of peace in your life? How much better your life be if we upgrade its rank in our life?
Family, Friendship, And Connection
It’s about caring for someone, more than you care about yourself, putting others first, making time for people you care about. All about giving the people you love and maybe even strangers your presence and building that connection. It’s making someone else’s day better just because you were in it. Bringing your best self up to every encounter, so the other person walks away with a smile. How would your life be different and countless others if you follow this approach?
Happiness
It’s joy, playfulness, fun, non-seriousness. The state of real happiness. When time stops and you love what you are doing. It’s what we all seek. But we do it in many different ways. Some try to find it through money, but no type of paper is going to bring it to you. Some try to find this through achievements and success, but they come up empty. It’s within and it’s a choice. It’s always available a never on sale. You decide when you make this a priority or a top value. How different your life would be if you had happiness as your highest values?
