Today I went on a run and I try to run everyday, I think that personal health is very important because without our health we would be unable to do any other thing that we value on this list.  Our time on earth is finite and for us to be able to do more and contribute more to those we care about we must first be able to take care of ourselves.  I also worked on homework today which is gaining my own personal development.  Our development as people is essential, would continuing  to develop ourselves and strengthening who we are as people we would stagnant.  Enjoyment is also important as what is the point of living if we do not enjoy our own lives, I spent time today interacting with friends as true friendship is important for our mental health and it also provides a great deal of enjoyment.

I think that for me Family had to be the top of the list, as those who are most important to me and I know will always accept me are my family.  I grew up on a farm so I was instilled with a since of the value of hard work and determination.  I also learned from my parents the value of kindness to all people and to always try to treat others with kindness without giving up your own personal power.  I can not really think of a value given in me by my family that I no longer think is valid, in fact I think I am still learning new valuable lessons from them on a daily bases.  A goal that I have for myself that have yet to accomplish are to learn German, I was born in Switzerland and forgetting the language of my birth is something I deeply regret.  I think that a stronger since of discipline will help me achieve this goal.
