Simply review the following list, and choose up to 10 (and a minimum of 6) of the following values that resonate
most with you. If there are values that you consider important to you, use the empty space(s) at the end of this
worksheet to add them to your list. Your goal is to have a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 values identified.
At this point, the goal is NOT to determine which of the ones you select are more or less important than
others. The only goal you have here is to identify the values that you associate with MOST.
(Note that the list continues on the following pages – be s ure to review them all before making s elections!)
