“You will never experience inner-peace and happiness until your daily behaviour is in line with your most deeply held values”
CONCEPT
Your governing values, beliefs, or standards for behavior guide your life choices. They help you choose not only your goals, the intentions you want to realise, but the strategy and the specific actions you will take in pursuit of those intentions.
WAKE UP CALLS vs REALITY CHECKS
- Our job is on the line
- Someone dies
- Out doctor gives us bad news about our health
- We find out that our teenager is on drugs
- Our marriages are threatened by divorce
So some crises whatever it maybe brings us to an awareness that what we’re doing with our time and what we feel is deeply important don’t match. The sad thing is in the absence of such “wake-up calls,” many of us never really confront the vital issues of our lives. We look for quick-fix Band-Aids and aspirin to treat acute pain. Fortified by temporary relief.
ATTITUDE
Overall success in building a complete life depends upon setting and achieving goals and your intentions in all areas of your life. Not all the areas of life will be equally important nor will they carry the same sense of urgency at any given time. Focus on one or two areas of life at a time. When progress is made in one area, you should give attention to every area of life according to your own priorities.
Your goals and intentions must harmonise with your governing values. Otherwise, you will fail to achieve them or will remain unsatisfied with the results. In contrast, when you set meaningful intentions in harmony with our governing values, you enjoy an immense sense of purpose, accomplishment and satisfaction with your life.
INSIGHT
You avoid the conflict and stress that could produce serious physical and emotional consequences. In addition, you enjoy peace of mind because you know you are meeting the right criteria for you.
Ask yourself: “Is what I’m doing today what really matters to me in my life?”
ACTION
When your daily activities reflect your governing values in the various areas of you life, you experience inner-peace and happiness.
For success to be meaningful in your life, it must extend to all areas of life, spiritual, mental, physical, family and financial. You cannot neglect one area to be successful in another.
