#019: A lot of times values get mixed up with morals, ethics and principles. Because of this misconception, many people give them a rating, like good or bad, or right or wrong, better or worse.

From my perspective, my interpretation and the way that I teach my courses on values is that values are part of your personal blueprint and they’re based on what’s important to you at a given time in your life.

Your values typically don’t change from one season to the next, or even year to year. They’re with you for a while until something significant occurs in your life and they either move and up down what I call the “values scale,” or go away completely, making room for new ones.

You might be saying, I thought values are morals, so what are they and how are they different?

In a moment I’ll give you examples of some values, so that you can start to identify yours.

First, I want to mention that there are several reasons you’re going to want to identify your personal values.

One good reason is that when you know what your values are it will be easier for you to be happier.  

When you’re in alignment with your values, life is going pretty good, you’re in the flow, life is easier, and things come together for you.

When you’re feeling out of sorts, out of balance and just not quite right, it’s most often because you’re out of alignment with your values.

Your values become your guide, your personal inner compass that will help you get on, and stay on the path of who you want to be, and what you want to create in your business and your life.

But don’t take my word for it, stay tuned to today’s episode and you’ll start to discover how your values can shape your existence and your outcome.
