DEFINE YOUR VALUES AND ALIGN YOUR ACTIONS

✍
According to Dave Ellis, in his masterpiece: Becoming A Master Student,”One key way to choose what is next in your life is to define your values.
✍
What are values?
Values are the things in life that you want for their own sake. Values influence and guide your choices, including your moment-by-moment choices of what to do and what to have. Your values define who you are and who you want to be.
✍
Unfortunately, some people are guided by values they do not choose for themselves or by the ones they are largely unconscious of. This is why they are easily manipulated. You see, if you do not know where you are going, any road can take you there
✍
As a matter of necessity, invest time and energy to define your values in life.Without this, your life will largely be in a shambles. If you do not know what you want, you do not want anything at all
✍
Some values are encompassing. Below are some of them. Use them as a guide to creating your own values. Your life needs a conscious definition and direction
