Why Core Values?

In this week’s Brilliant Insights, I want to talk to you about the importance of core values when it comes to your goals. 

If I were to ask you to identify your top four core values, you would list four values that are positive in nature and reflect what you believe should be important. The operative word here is “should.” 

If you were to take that list, look at your life, and find it doesn’t reflect the fullness of those values, this is an indication that you have other values that are negative in nature which you esteem higher than your positive values. 

Core values drive results. 

Whether you are getting fantastic results or you are stuck, the core values you are aligned with and honoring in your daily life are the driving force. 

I remember listening to John Maxwell speak once and he said that your mind makes over 30, 000 decisions each day. You cannot consciously make that many decisions. He went on to say that your core values drive all of those decisions. 

Your core values (good or bad) are like an internal compass, guiding you to what really matters in life. If your life is not reflecting the results you want, whether it’s in happiness, relationship, finances, or health then it's time to take a deeper look into what negative values you are aligning with and why. 

THE V.A.L.U.E. GOAL™ begins with core values. Values are how you discern the right goal for the right season. Goals that originate from core values are internally motivated, making them more sustainable. 

You cannot successfully reach a goal and sustain your momentum unless the goal is aligned with your core values. 

You cannot set the right goal unless you know and understand at a deeper level what your core values are. 

You cannot navigate the storms of life and stay on track unless you are aligned with your core values. 

Because everyone is at a different stage in their journey, THE V.A.L.U.E. GOAL™ has broken down the process of successful goal setting into three stages of value-driven goals.
