A value is a belief, a mission, or a philosophy that is meaningful. Whether we are consciously aware of them or not, every individual has a core set of personal values. Values can range from the commonplace, such as the belief in hard work and punctuality, to the more psychological, such as self-reliance, concern for others, an...d harmony of purpose.
When we examine the lives of famous people, we often see how personal values guided them, propelling them to the top of their fields. For example, one actor was motivated by his commitment to social justice, which led to important acting roles related to that value that made him world famous. Likewise, a well-known business CEO was motivated by the personal value that technology should be easy to use, which caused his company to spawn a technology revolution.
Whatever are one’s values, when we take them to heart and implement them in the smallest details of our lives, great accomplishment and success are sure to follow. The key point to keep in mind about values is that implementing them energizes everything concerned with it. For an individual, committing to and applying values releases fresh energies, which always attract success, achievement, and well-being.
We can energize our lives by making the full effort to implement the values we subscribe to. Once we identify values that are meaningful to us, we can develop strategies to implement them. When we make the determined effort to implement those strategies, good fortune is sure to follow -- in the form of new opportunities, new sources of revenue and income, and other forms of material and psychological benefit.
We may even notice that as we implement values, we experience instances of "life response" -- where good fortune suddenly comes to us from seemingly out of nowhere, defying our normal perceptions of what is logical and possible.
Below is a list of some important personal values culled from years of observing individual achievement and success: ACCOUNTABILITY, ALL FOR ONE & ONE FOR ALL, CHARITY, CLEANLINESS, DISCIPLINE, GRATITUDE, EFFICIENCY, EXCELLENCE, FAIRNESS, KINDNESS, HARD WORK, PUNCTUALITY, PERSEVERANCE, SERVICE, SELF-RELIANCE, TOLERANCE, TIMELINESS AND WISDOM, among others.
