PERSONAL VALUE SYSTEM

A personal value system is a set of principles or ideals that drive and/or guide your
behavior.

Your personal value system gives you structure and purpose by helping you determine
what is meaningful and important to you.

It helps you express who you are and what you stand for.

If you are unaware of, or become disconnected with your values, you end up making
choices out of impulse or instant gratification rather than on solid reasoning and
responsible decision-making.

Your values define your character. They impact every aspect of your life including:

 personal and work behaviors

 your interactions with family, friends and co-workers
 your decision-making processes
 the direction you take in life
 the overall quality of your life
 your happiness and well being

This is why it is so important to know what you value, why  you value it and what
precedence it takes in your life.

Four Categories of a Personal Value System

Personal Values - Personal values are those traits we see as worth aspiring to, and
that define our character.

Spiritual Values - The values that connect us to a higher power and give us a sense of
purpose beyond our material existence.
