So far this week, I have asked you to listen to the stories you tell
about yourself to others and where you inherited that story from. Today, I invite you to reflect on your
values. Read through the list below and circle
the words that jump off the page.
Then go back and whittle down to five or seven that are the most
important. Remember, you don’t need to
defend these ~ all these values are needed and necessary in the world. But you are the only you in the world that
can bring your particular values forward right now in your unique way. Here is the list:
Authenticity Achievement Adventure
Authority Autonomy Balance
Beauty Boldness Compassion
Challenge Citizenship Community
Competency Contribution Creativity
Curiosity Determination Fairness
Faith Fame Friendships
Fun Growth Happiness
Honesty Humor Influence
Inner Harmony Justice Kindness
Knowledge Leadership Learning
Love Loyalty Meaningful Work
Openness Optimism Peace
Pleasure Poise Popularity
Recognition Religion Reputation
Respect Responsibility Security
Self-Respect Service Spirituality
Stability Success Status
Trustworthiness Wealth Wisdom
Hold these values as a gift of God’s presence in you.
