Wonderful Post Monica! Thanks first of all.

The values are the things that I believe that are important in the way I live and work.

They determine my priorities, and, deep down, they're probably the measures I use to tell if my life is turning out the way I want it to.

When the things that I do and the way I behave match my values, life is usually good – I'm satisfied and content. But when these don't align with my values, that's when things feel... wrong. This can be a real source of unhappiness.

This is why making a conscious effort to identify your values is so important.
