In life people do what they value and value what they do. Values are personal beliefs that drives us to action or to a particular kind of lifestyle and behaviour. Values are emotional anchors that determines where we go; the company we keep and the things we do. Values determine our preferences, our interest, our commitment, the things we respect and the principles to adhere to. Values clarify purpose, they enable us to see things worth living and dying for.
Roy Disney said, *"it's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are." * For example, if your house is fire and you are given the opportunity to save only one item. What would you save? That is a reflection of the things you value. If you have the bottles the best you can become is a drunkard. If you value clothes the best you can be is good dresser.
Heavy eaters value food while gossips and critics value talking more than work. Lazy people value sleeping and watching TV. Spectators value watching people play. A good father values is children and a good husband values his wife.
Your values determine ho you are and what you will become. What we lack today is poverty of values. People value wrong things. We can never achieve greatness with wrong values. Superior thinkers think in terms of getting the best benefits from their decisions. They are clear about what they stand for, fight for and what they believe.
It's not hard to make a decision when you are sure what your values are. Your values determines your decisions in life and your decision determines your destiny.
