Values

Values are deeply-held desires that guide us in creating a fulfilling life. They are not wishes, morals, or 'shoulds', they are intrinsic beliefs about what is important to us in life. When we are aligned with our values, our vision, mission, and purpose become clear and easy to define.

Below is a list of 111 Core Values. I recommend reading through this list one time, fully, and writing down the ones that stick out to you. Then, go through that list and narrow it down to your top five. These are your core values. You can use this list in a general way or apply it to something more specific, such as a project, relationship or period of time.
