What’s in a Value?

“Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values”.  by Dalai Lama

What is a value? While it could be described in many ways, values can be seen as connected to everything we do in our lives regardless of whether we are consciously aware of them or not. They provide us with meaning, purpose, and a sense of direction, supporting us towards a healthy and fulfilling life. Just like a rudder on a boat that provides a means to steer the vessel, values can be seen as performing the same purpose in our own lives. At times our values can provide a buffer to help guide us through the challenges we all encounter in life, or they can be signposts that help us imagine, plan, and pursue our deepest held desires for a meaningful and joyful life.  Values can be so many things that encompass our moment to moment living.

From time to time, we all benefit from taking stock and reassessing what we value or hold close. It can help us to realign, reconnect, and reaffirm decisions or find the strength or motivation to seek a new direction. Identifying or focusing in on your values can be very transformative in your life, even providing clarity around possibilities for the future.
