Reflection
Family is the most important value to me because I truly believe I am a product of my parents. They put so much time, effort, money, and love into creating the person I am today that I feel it is only right that I give back to them in every way I can. The least I can do is call them every day and spend some of my time to see how they are doing. My family extends to my best friends that I have a bound that stretches way beyond a friendship. Tying in with family is the value of loyalty, which means a deal to me. Loyalty is something that comes from my family and my upbringing as a child, which has resulted in me being very loyal to those that deserve it.
I’m pretty good at self-inventorying and thinking through what matters to me so there aren’t belief patterns that are no longer valid to me. The value of personal development, along with my other four top values, is something I demonstrate every day of my life. I always do something throughout the day that pushes me closer to my goals and dreams. Wisdom and enjoyment go hand in hand when considering furthering my growth as a person. I believe knowledge is power so gaining wisdom is very important to me. I also understand the power of enjoyment and enjoying life, because life can be hard so it is a necessity to have fun and laugh.
As for goals for myself, I don’t have any goals that I have yet to pursue because I’m actively pursing my goals everyday. There is nothing standing in my way because I have had life experiences that have taught me that life is too short to wait around for something to happen. If you want something bad enough, you have to go out and make it happen.
