Podcast Episode 176 - Personal Growth - Power of Values

Read

If you were standing before God, what would you tell Him what’s important to you?

Do you value love, generosity, joy or gratitude? Or maybe it’s hard work, integrity, belonging or community?

Whatever you value, are you living out those values in your everyday life?

Your beliefs are connected to your thoughts, words, actions, and habits. And our habits become or reveal our values and what we stand for. 

Today is for you if…

• If you want to live the life you say you stand for.

• If you desire to fulfill your destiny.

• If you’re ready to do what, it takes your life to the next level.

“Your beliefs become 

Your thoughts.

Your thoughts become

Your words.

Your words become

Your actions.

Your actions become

Your habits.

Your habits become

Your values.

Your values become

Your destiny.”

–Mahatma Gandhi

Your habits reveal your values and what really matters to you.

Your values are what you stand for.

There was a time when I said I valued love, but my habit showed that I was holding unforgiveness and wouldn’t deal with it because I really valued keeping the peace and avoiding conflict at all costs.

Look at values and ask yourself:

Am I living out these values with my beliefs, thoughts, words, actions and habits?

Will my values lead me to the destiny I want? Will my values help me become the kind of person that can sustain and support that destiny?

If you answered no, what values would lead you to the destiny you want and become someone who can sustain and support that destiny?
