Our values define our characterthe code of conduct that isour compass in the journey of life. Among the values you could embrace are:authenticity, commitment, compassion, courage, creativity, excellence, faith,family, friendship, happiness, harmony, health, independence, integrity,kindness, lightness, loyalty, respect, serenity, and service to others. To help you get started with the process of identifying yourvalues, think about the three people you respect most deeply, and describe thequalities in them that you admire most. These will be some of your values. Toillustrate the point, Ill share a conversation I had with a client Ill callPam. Time flies by so fast, Pam sighed wistfully. My daughter,Hayley, is already 5 years old. Before I know it, she will be all grown up. Iwant to help her develop good, strong values to guide her as she makesdecisions that will affect the rest of her life. But beyond telling Hayley to be nice, share her toys andtell the truth, my mind goes blank. I dont think Ive ever sat down anddefined my values. How can I teach something to my daughter that I cant evendescribe to myself? So I asked her, Who are you when you are at your best? She found that commitment to family, compassion, health,integrity, kindness and respecting self and others are the priorities shenurtures in her daily life. With her values clearly defined, Pam moved on to the issueof modeling her values with her daughter. I asked Pam to create a scenariowithin her daily routine where she could, as part of the conversation, explainto Hayley the what and the why of her values: this is what I believe isimportant and this is why. Here is the scenario: when Pam is in a hurry, she sometimesraises her voice to Hayley. Instead of continuing this pattern, Pam wants tochoose calm words, explaining to her daughter that she is choosing to speakcalmly because she respects Hayley. Pam felt her self-respect growing as shecontemplated how she could maintain her integrity under in a stressfulsituation. Pam discovered her deepest values and linked them in apowerful, positive way with her relationship with her daughter. This will bePams buffer against making choices reactively instead of reflectively. Our values can be a source of inspiration, because the truemeasure of our lives ultimately lies in the sum total of the hundreds ofseemingly small choices we make each and every day. The more committed we are to living our values in everymoment of our daily lives, the more powerful we become, because we are livingin our integrity. Its this strength of character that will fundamentallysustain us in being the kind of person we want to be for the long haul. Andcreate the self-respect and peace of mind that come from living in ourintegrity. For related articles, visit my website,www.myinnerfrontiers.com.
