Within you lives the roadmap to your dreams. It comes to light in all the small things that you often take for granted, it lies in the collection of your deepest beliefs and values.
Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you truly lived your values? What would it be like to not sweat about the big picture but instead clearly see and honor the small things? Have you ever asked your higher self what it is that is most important to you, what you truly value?
When we get real with our values it is so much easier to not sweat about the stuff that really does not matter that much, the actual small stuff that we repeatedly mistake for the big and important stuff. What would it be like to live without the endless mind chatter, shallow and superficial dreams, competition and eternal longing for external validation? What we usually think of as the small stuff is the actual big stuff!
To get some clarity on this topic, why not list out the things/topics that are truly important to you; your REAL and genuine values related to what kind of a human being you really are and would want to be. It does not matter whether you are currently living by those values or not. Just list them out. Then move on to answering the following 5 questions.
Five important questions to ask your higher SELF:
1. If you were always true to your true values, what would your life be like?
2. What kind of a person would you be?
3. What would you be teaching your children?
4. What would you want to leave behind for future generations of mankind?
5. What, to you, would be a truly valuable life and a life well lived?
An example of value statements:
I value all of life.
I believe in the pursuit of happiness.
In order to truly love others, you have to first love yourself.
Honor your family and all of your relationships and genuinely love your children.
Respect, love and honor your planet.
Be a positive role model for your children, and teach them well.
Lead by example, and lead in love.
List out the values that come to mind and genuinely resonate with you and get real with how many of them you are actually living by. The ones you are not living by can help explain any imbalance you may experience in your life.
There is ALWAYS room for improvement and nobody has to be 100%, one hundred percent of the time but getting real with what it is that you value will show you the way and help you manifest your true self.
