Are Your Values Genuine?

Are your values genuine - Featured

January 25, 2017 by Ruth Okeefe

by James Robbins, M.A., LPC

 

Are your values genuine

What personal value is most important to you? Love, money, health, kindness, career, spirituality, honesty, family?

Now consider this: Does your current life reflect this value?  Do your daily behaviors, your daily thoughts and feelings, strongly align with this value? If you spend hours daily thinking about money, worrying about money, that’s what you really value. If you spend a lot of time being angry, thinking angry thoughts, feeling like you’re the victim, then “victimhood” is what you really value. If I say I value family above all else, but spend more time playing golf or going to Zumba classes than I do playing with the kids, I need to be aware of this discrepancy.

You don’t get points for what you say you value. In fact, your life already tells everyone what you value. It shouts it loud and clear. Does who you think you are match up with who your life says you are?
