<p>Here is a fun exercise to do that helps us to understand what is most important to each one of us.<br />Also it will help to set priorities for goals.</p>
<p>There are no right or wrong answers. Get both your <em>heart </em>and your<em> mind</em> involved.<br />Listed below are 30 values. Focus on the 8-10 most important to you, then narrow it down to the five most important. After you get the five, rank them one to five, one being the top value.<br /><br />Achievement (accomplishment)<br />Ambitious (hard working, aspiring)<br />Adventure (new and challenging experiences)<br />Capable ( competent, effective)<br />Competitive ( winning, taking risks)<br />Courageous (standing up for your beliefs)<br />Creative (imaginative, clever)<br />Economic<br />Security (freedom from worry about money)<br />Fame (being famous, well known)<br />Family<br />Happiness (sharing your life together, enjoying)<br />Freedom (independence, self-reliant)<br />Friendship (close companionship)<br />Health (physical and mental well-being)<br />Helpful (working for the welfare of others)<br />Inner<br />Harmony (being at peace with oneself)<br />Integrity (honesty, sincerity)<br />Intellectual (intelligent and reflective)<br />Involvement (working with others, belonging)<br />Love (affectionate, tender, caring)<br />Loyal (faithful to friends or a group)<br />Order (stability, conformity)<br />Personal<br />Development (use of potential)<br />Pleasure (fun, laughs)<br />Power (control, authority, influence over others)<br />Religion (strong religious beliefs, closeness to God)<br />Responsible (dependable, reliable)<br />Self-Respect (pride, sense of personal identity)<br />Social<br />Recognition (respect and admiration from others)<br />Wealth (prosperity, making money)<br />Wisdom (a mature understanding of life)<br /><br />When finished, ask yourself these four questions:<br />1- Am I surprised by my number 1 value?<br />2- Are there any surprises in my top 5?<br />3- What does this exercise tell me about myself?<br />4- How will these values affect the goals I set?<br /><br />It is recommended to do these exercises once a year. <strong>As<br />goals are achieved, values do change.</strong></p>
