My Values
During my recent trip to Sydney I had time to meet with my LIfe Coach, through the last couple of weeks we had identified for me that one of the challenges for me was that the “gay lifestyle” (dont you hate that term) clashed directly with my personal values, and that the times in my life that were difficult were the times when my values and the decisions that I made really clashed.
So with that thought we worked through a values exercise, this was very challenging, and I came out the other end of it emotionally drained, but below is the results of that exercise……
My Personal Values:
Value: Loyalty
Belief: Loyalty is the daily demonstration of my love for others.
Value: Intimacy
Belief: Intimacy is a space of deeper connection.
Value: Connection
Belief: Connection enables me to have a sense of belonging to others and them to me.
Value: Belonging
Belief: Belonging gives me a sense of meaning and purpose
Value: Integrity
Belief: Integrity is being true to myself and others.
Value: Creativity
Belief: Creativity is an opportunity to express my true self.
Value: Social Justice
Belief: Social Justice enables me to treat others and act on their behalf to gain fairness and equity.
Value: Success
Belief: Success is an acknowledgement of my achievements.
Value: Fulfilment
Belief: Encouraging personal growth leads to fulfilment.
Value: Independence
Belief: Independence enables me to make the right decisions & be responsible for my own life.
Value: Individuality
Belief: Individuality creates diversity and acceptance
glad the exercise was helpful. It is so important to have that level of clarity about personal values because will only be happy and fulfilled when our lives are lived in harmony with those values
Thanks Anthony,
the exercise was of great value and has been very helpful.
I have them up on my wall in my office, my studio and at my work office, it reminds me very well of who I am and why I make the choices that I do.
