Values Are NOT Cast In Stone

 

VALUES?  Oh Oh, WHAT a boring thread today, you might mutter.  Well, sort of.  BUT please allow me to pitch as to WHY VALUES deserve a spot at least for our blog today as VALUES are fundamental principles and beliefs that motivate and guide our human behavior.  These can affect and inform our own actions, attitudes and even decisions, WHICH then can impact our quality of life.  Understanding VALUES can help navigate our different life stages and hopefully overcome the obstacles that come our way.  BTW, VALUES ARE NOT CAST IN STONE💚💛💜

For alignment, VALUES are our principles OR standards that we believe in and WHICH we consider to be important OR desirable in our life.  And they often determine the guidelines that we follow WHEN making judgments and influence HOW we interact with other people and function in our societies.  VALUES may also help us in establishing priorities in life and should be able to motivate us to reach and eventually achieve our pre-set goals.  Oh yes, VALUES start as early as our childhood, so that makes it that crucial in our evolution to be mature adults✅✅✅

NOW, before you get bored, let's map these VALUES into our daily lives.  IF someone easily discriminates people, probably, one of those VALUES instilled in him is that of being discriminating, ouch.  IF someone tends to often prematurely judge someone, maybe he developed values WHEREIN prematurely judging on someone is just fine [WHICH is totally wrong though]❎❎❎

So, HOW do we ensure that our VALUES are on the right track?  I believe I should introduce this sort of 'reverse engineering' WHEREIN I'll highlight a manifestation for us to pin down on one VALUE LIKE as follows:

• LIKE being SUBJECTIVE, maybe that VALUE was molded in us early on?  Way to go?  Fix that misdirected VALUE.
• LIKE being EVALUATIVE, there's nothing wrong per se BUT be cautions handling this

Our takeaway:  Much as there are multifarious variables that can shape and influence ourselves, it makes sense that part of our goals in life is to envision ourselves to have an embodiment of values which we want to achieve, e.g being helpful, being kind, being considerate.  Having done those pre-set goals, we can then start and ignite our engines to ensure that we consistently take that road leading only to the very VALUES we pre-set to achieve because after all, VALUES ARE NOT CAST IN STONE😁😁😁
