Podcasts about you one

Leadership - It's not all about YOU …One of the greatest things about leadership is that we all able to bring something different to the table. If you were to read articles on good leadership qualities, you would usually see detailed lists of essential qualities such as integrity, effective communication and influence. These are all wonderful qualities to have as a leader, but I am going to share something I believe make individuals stand out as a great leader — putting their people ahead of themselves.

Steve and Howard cover the bases, from good people who did good things for our humble hosts, they’ll cover important inventions and talk movies and TV. And they worry they may get fired for this show! (Ep71) The post Back 2 You – One good turn deserves another appeared first on Radio Misfits.

People want to know whether God exists.  Don't You? One way we've tried to is by searching for evidence in the natural world and plumbing the depths of human reason - this is the project of natural theology.  Can we find out whether God exists without God revealing that information to us in some way? We discuss the revolutionary idea that God may not be interested in having people come to know that God exists in the above fashion.  Such a project misses the salient aspects of a robust, volitional, and moral transformation journey that God would be interested in if God exists.

In July, according to the census bureau nearly 25 million people reported they had little to no confidence they would be able to pay rent in the next month and almost 30 million people said they didn't have enough to eat.Without federal intervention, housing experts and advocates warn of an unprecedented wave of eviction in the coming month and one far more devastating than the 2008 crisis.Today I am releasing a series of two episodes on housing assistance.In this episode, I speak with Louise Kekulah, a woman who grew up in Liberia, Africa. Moved by herself in the US as a child. Had a baby, graduated from Rutgers, and now works as a counselor for families at risk of losing their children.The fact that Louise is very bright and highly driven probably explains how she managed to do so well. Yet, she says that the Housing Initiatives of Princeton has changed her life and allowed her to bounce back and secure a better carrier. You will hear Louise mention Carol. In part two I then speak with Carol Golden the chair of Housing Initiatives of Princeton and also a member of the Affordable Housing Board of Princeton. Transcript Stanislas Berteloot  0:31  Thank you so much for accepting to share your story with me, and with Back in America.Louise  0:38  Yes, it's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me. When I joined HIP, I graduated from undergrad and then I had a baby. Right now I work for a center integrated health. I'm a counselor.Stanislas Berteloot  0:54  I wonder if you can take me back to a very, very old story for you. Before you move to the US, I know you moved when you were seven. Did you have any memories of your country, of Liberia?Louise  1:10  Very little, I have very little memories of my country. Um, I do recall that there was a war going on back there. And so in order to escape the war, my family stayed like my my mom stayed. My entire family stayed, except for me. So we had my mom had brought me over with one of her friends on to a refugee program. back then. I don't know if you heard of DACA. Back then it was really easy to come into the United States. Unlike now. My memory of back home isn't very fond, honestly.Unknown Speaker  2:00  Yeah, what? Tell me more.Louise  2:03  So I left my family. We went to what do we go? I think we went to Ivory Coast because we were there for quite some time. Um, and I was what? When I left my mom, I want to say I was about five or six. Because we came to this country February, I remember was February 14. I'll never forget it, because it's always Valentine's Day, February 14 2001. So I think I've been here for what, like about 19 years. So when we went to Ivory Coast, I was I was probably there for a few months, and then we came on a plane. And when I landed here, it was actually my first time seeing snow. It's like I it doesn't snow. You know, it doesn't snow back home. So the call it was a culture shock for me. Honestly, they didn't take me a while to adapt Cuz like I know like once I started school like once I cuz I um I actually used to live in Ewing so when we first when we first got here not when we first got here we were in Hamilton because I attended Greenwood elementary school and there I got a lot of help with like because you know my English wasn't really well. So I got like a lot of ESL help and things like that but I was always bright for lack of better words so I've always had like this mindset of just like striving and not giving up. So not being able to like I had difficulties understanding the teachers they try to sent me they try to put me back a grade but that that didn't happen because I was able to just like adapt. So like I would go home and take the extra time to just like Studying and I remember just being envious of other kids in the classroom and things like that. Soit didn't take a while to adapt at all, to the American culture.Stanislas Berteloot  4:14  And so your mom moved back to Liberia, or did she stay with you?Louise  4:18  She's not my mom's state. My mom has always she's on. She's back in Liberia.Stanislas Berteloot  4:23  So what happened? Because you moved here, were you on your own? No,Louise  4:27  I was actually with a friend of my mom, a very good friend of hers.Stanislas Berteloot  4:31  Was it tough for you to be alone? Not seven.Louise  4:35  Yeah. Um, but back then.It wasn't as tough back then as it is now. To be honest, now, it's really tough. But back then I always had, like, moral support. Um, I had support as a kid. I can genuinely say that Did so it wasn't like, and my mom did really well in terms of communication. So imagine from seven up until now, like she, she kept she kept in contact with me and she still does. So that helped a lot too.Unknown Speaker  5:17  Yeah.Unknown Speaker  5:20  So you just said now it's tough. Yeah. Why is it tough?Louise  5:26  I would say, you know, with a baby, and lack of support.Definitely needing my mom. I see a lot more now.Stanislas Berteloot  5:39  Yeah. So that brings us to, to that situation right? The the baby but maybe before we get there, I wonder if you can take me back to high school and then moving on to college. That was a good time for you. Right. You One.Louise  6:02  Yeah, high school. So I first I started at you in high school. I finished ninth grade there, but then I had to leave to go to New Brunswick. And then I graduated from tour in high school and actually graduated number four in my class. So I was top five.Stanislas Berteloot  6:24  And then you went to college?Louise  6:27  Yeah. Then I went to Rutgers, um, I did a double major. So I graduated with criminal justice and psychology. And right now I'm actually getting my master's at Karen University for counseling. So I want to be a therapist senior year was when I found out that I was gonna be a mom. It was spring semester. I think I found out in February because there's like a question. They're so that's when that was when, I guess my entire world just shiftedfor the better, honestly.Unknown Speaker  7:14  Yeah, I was not expecting that.Stanislas Berteloot  7:18  Because that brought a lot of noise. Also.Louise  7:25  Yeah, it was, um, initially it was, but then again my mom, you know, my mom was the first person that actually told about the baby. And she actually encouraged me to have the baby. She's very religious, like, she's very religious. So having an abortion was just something that was just not an option for her. And so, you know, and I and I always remember my mom's words. You know, she She, she practically told me she said, This baby is going to be the best thing that has ever happened to you. And like, I don't I can't read the future and neither can she. So it's kind of like I was getting myself set up for something like the unexpected, but I just like I maintain my faith, I would say that I genuinely like I got a lot closer to the Lord. And even though I had no idea because I was 23 you know, I had no idea about any you know about a baby or anything like that. But, you know, I was willing to go ahead and take that risk.Unknown Speaker  8:44  I can hear the baby, the baby.Unknown Speaker  8:47  Go ahead.Unknown Speaker  8:50  That is him.Louise  8:58  Okay, thank you.Stanislas Berteloot  9:04  That's great. All right, I'm myself might be interrupted anytime, so we know what it's like. So, you were about to graduate. And that baby arrived. What did you do? You had to find housing. You had to? Yeah,Louise  9:21  I did. So originally, I was at my cousin's house, but um, the environment just wasn't for me. So I ended up staying with a friend, um, who I was renting like a room there. But then it was kind of like, so I was there. There wasn't any baby at the time. So I'm staying at my friend's house and just working because at that time, I was actually working on a quick check. So I'm just working and just trying to secure fundings. A lot of fun things. You know, in preparation for a baby I had a baby I just, I remember just feeling so empty. I don't want to say it was like postpartum depression or any of that stuff. But I just like I genuinely was not happy with my living condition. I just wasn't happy. I just it was kind of like, from day one, I knew that I needed to provide a decent living for my son. So, and my mindset was always, you know, I got to give them a better life than I had in the midst of, you know, still working. So being a mom and things like that I started reaching out to people for help. So this is where hyp comes in, because I was just pretty much applying for like, a lot of programs. But one thing I'm big on education, you know, I'm big on school and things like that. So for me, it was kind of like, you know, Princeton was it. For me, it was kind of like I need to go to a place where Where the school district is good for my son. And I came across him. I had no idea what it was. But as it was like I was just filling out a bunch of applications. And then when things got really, really bad, I started like, practically harassing this, Carol.Stanislas Berteloot  11:17  Sorry. How about was it and why was it bad?Louise  11:22  I was just like, it was like a lot of turmoil with where I was living, because now we're talking babies there. There was no heat. So she stopped turning on the heat. So now it's kind of like I'm in a room. A little room, a little space with a baby, and no heat. Stanislas Berteloot  11:46  So is the landlord turn of the.Louise  11:49  Yeah,Stanislas Berteloot  11:50  she didn't want the baby there or whatLouise  11:52  I would, I guess so because you know, a newborn baby. There's like a lot of demands. You know? With like, the noise level, and things like that, so I guess I don't know. But I do. I do believe that was one of the reasons and just like, but my thing was, I could have left, but I wouldn't have been able to afford it. Um, my income was just not.Unknown Speaker  12:27  How much were you making?Louise  12:28  Like about $9.60 an hours, I was not making much at all. About $200 a week. Stanislas Berteloot  12:37  Wow, for you and Malcolm?Louise  12:40   Yes, for me and Malcolm. So it's just like, I couldn't take it. I did like Princeton Community House. I did like a lot of housing applications. And then I kept hearing the same thing you know, takes time there's a waitlist and things like that. So when I called When I send my application and to hip, I got a call, I think I got a call from like Miss Carol. And I think she was just telling me that the place was like filled up or something like that and just be something like that. I was kind of like the call that I got, she gave me hope. So then, I just started I know, I started reaching out to her out, like a lot more in just like, out of desperation. Um, and I don't know something, something must have clicked because next thing you know, I went for an interview because they do like their, you know, initial interview and things like that. Two weeks later, she she called me and said, congratulations. And I literally moved into the apartment. I want to say March 1 of like, 2017.Unknown Speaker  13:49  Okay.Louise  13:51  Yeah. So from September to March, that's not really very long when it comes to like this housing thing, you know, because there'sStanislas Berteloot  14:00  Being in a new housing like that, well, you know, what difference did it make to you? Oh,Louise  14:09  significant. Oh my gosh, it's I, I mean, I was already responsible, but it just it was just so surreal to me. And, like, I knew that this was an opportunity of a lifetime. So for me, it was just, you know, feeling secure, you know, not feeling like I have to walk on tippy toes and somebody else's home, I was able to get a lot of support from them. So I had a counselor, I remember Miss Glenda and then I had like, she was my liaison at the time, career development. So I think when I got into hip, that's when literally things just started moving forward for me in a positive way. correction, because then it was kind of like I'm I went on from quick check to a decent job beneficial enough to get my feet wet a little bit, give me that experience that I needed. And then once I got that job, I secured it for at least a year, which was what? I was at a halfway house. Yeah, I was a program counselor there. And then I went back to the Career Coach, and she pretty much just helped me with my resume, resume building skills. And I've been able to network a lot with like different people, which has been really beneficial to me. One, she helped me, you know, improve my resume and interview skills and things like that. I secured an even better job with what I do now.Stanislas Berteloot  15:51  So tell tell us about what you do now.Louise  15:54  I work for family preservation services in Mercer County. I do intensive in home counseling for families at risk of losing their children. So, um, interventions that I do is just helping them become more stabilized in the home so that they're able to keep their children and not have them removed by decently up.Stanislas Berteloot  16:20  Wow. Yeah. Do you think that your personal history help you better understand those people?Louise  16:30  Definitely. Yeah. And that'sso there's a fine line that you have to draw in terms of boundaries. But and I never go and tell them my story. But when I hear their story, I can easily relate to them, which makes it easier for them to relate to me. And, you know, it's crazy because I just had a conversation with one of my supervisor, she pretty much told me she said, You're really good at what you do. And that really meant a lot to me because This is something that I'm passionate about. Like, for me, it's kind of like, someone paved the way for me. So paving the way for others is just my goal right now. Which is why I got into the whole social, Social Work field. And even now like I'm still even though technically I graduated from him, they have been of like, so much help to me that I still maintain like, communications with them. And even now, like I have, like, Miss Rebecca just reached out to me with an opportunity of a lifetime like, I I'm filled with so much joy just talking to you about this right now because she called me and she was like, you know, congratulations, because I got into like this on this program. It's called the women unlimited organization for mentoring, education and networking. So even like stuff like that, that I'm still doing Getting, like the blessings is just it keeps coming in my mom words were true because Malcolm, I feel like he came with so much blessing. I know that they're preparing me to be able to provide a living for my son, which is something that I've always dreamed of.Stanislas Berteloot  18:19  You come from Liberia, you come from Africa, how do you experience this country being black, but you are not a black American, you are black from Africa. In this country, I mean, you are sort of in between culture, right.Louise  18:37  Big time.Oh, that's a good question.I try not to allow the outside the outside world, for lack of better words, intervene with the goals that I've set for myself.Unknown Speaker  18:58  Okay, that makes sense.Stanislas Berteloot  19:00  Sort of. So you you, you try to hide out all those racial tensions? Yes. Because you want to focus on on your goal, which is the carrier and yeah, and to build a good life outcome.Louise  19:18  Yeah, like I like I've dealt with. And, you know,it's I think it's interesting that you say this because moving to prison has not always been easy. I've had my shares of racism, for lack of better words, but it's the mindset that I've had and I actually talked to Mrs. Glenda about it is that I've worked so hard to get to where I'm at right now. I'm not going to allow anyone to try to dictate, um, my outcome, so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna I'm not going to let people try to push me out of my dreams. You know? So, for me, it's justUnknown Speaker  20:12  tunnel vision.Louise  20:14  Pretty much but i do i do address it when I see fit. So, you know, there was an incident with my, my my son school, it ended up working out in the sense that, you know, the same support system that I have with it. They were able to reach out to a professional who was then able to assist me with the situation. I'm in and it worked out.Stanislas Berteloot  20:40  What is America to you?Louise  20:44  America is giving me the headstart is pushing me to a place where I can just pretty much build up my character to take something back home for other children, you know, I feel like and I feel like I'm here for a purpose. Like, I know sounds like a cliche, but I gene, because I just find it unbelievable how things have just been working out. For me, and then, you know, for Malcolm and on that, I feel like that I feel like I, there's a purpose for all of this. So it's just soaking everything in, you know, right now, I'm kind of like a sponge. You know, I'm, I'm getting all the education that I need. Because a part of being like a therapist, or striving to be a therapist is I feel like mental health is really important. So it's just going back home and things like, you know, abuse and things like that, and taking that back with me and trying to just stabilize other children. So I guess, Stanislas Berteloot  21:54  And when you say going back home, you mean home in Liberia? Yeah. Is that what you want to do? Ultimately,Louise  22:01  Oh, yeah, yeah, I definitely want to, I've been planning because bear in mind since since I came here in 2001, I have not seen my family. So what I'm going to do is, you know, I want for Malcolm to get to an age where, you know, his memories serves him, right. Because when I, when I go back home, I, you know, obviously he has to be his grandma, and his uncle and his arm. So I want him to get to an age where, you know, it'll be good, good enough for him to go and experience, my side, my culture. And hopefully you can take something from that. So I'm definitely planning within the next year or two to go back because I need to meet my mom, like, you know, I haven't seen my mam forever.Stanislas Berteloot  22:51  I'm sure you do. But where do you plan to settle, in the US over there.Louise  22:59  So I want to do I want to travel back and forth. And he will sound crazy for this. But it's kind of like I can't just abandon America because America gave me that stabilization, I guess. And so, but I can't, you know, I can never forget where I've come from. So it's kind of like, maybe I can build a home back, back home where I can just travel back and forth, go on vacations and stuff.And just experience my roots too.Stanislas Berteloot  23:38  Yeah. Well, I don't blame you for that. Do you have any and that will be my last question. Do you have any advice for people who are going through a tough time?Louise  23:48  Yes. Um, stay true to yourself. Just know that the storm does not last forever. There's always there's always light at theStanislas Berteloot  23:59  End of the Tunnel looking back at at your own experience, would you do anything differently? Louise  24:06  No.Stanislas Berteloot  24:11  Thank you. Louise  24:12  Thank you.You too. Thank you so much. Bye-bye

Success Comes from You One of the fallacies that many wantrepreneurs make is that they think success will come from outside of them. They think that if they find the right vehicle they will be successful but they never realize that the vehicle doesn’t matter if the driver sucks. You have to invest in yourself before you will ever see success in business. You have to master skill sets, understand your personality and how you function, and constantly educate yourself if you ever wish to be successful. 2. You Cannot Use Your Personality Type as an Excuse Often times in business, entrepreneurs will use their personality type as a crutch. They say things like “How can I get good at sales if I am an introvert” or “My personality just doesn’t let me focus on one thing” or a whole host of other b.s. excuses. If you want to succeed in entrepreneurship then wake up and realize that your personality type may be an obstacle but it is never a death sentence. 3. Making Money is Only the First Part of Wealth Many people believe that once you make money you are set. But the truth is that making money is only the first part of the equation for wealth. If you want to be wealthy you have to learn how to make, keep, and grow your income. If you earn $1,000,000 a year but spend $1,250,000 then you are not wealthy, you are broke as a joke. The things that make so many entrepreneurs great at making money, being comfortable with risks, quick decision making, and a “go big or go home” attitude is also what makes it very difficult for entrepreneurs to keep and grow their money. To grow true wealth, you must temper yourself and learn to exercise the discipline necessary to make smart investment decisions that are not sexy, do not require a lot of risk, and are often base hits instead of home runs. Entrepreneurship makes terrible financial decision 4. If You Want to be Respected Have Integrity This applies to all areas of life, not just business. If you want people to respect you, then be a man of your word, say what you mean and stop lying. Be real and honest with people, don’t b.s. them because you are hoping for positive feedback. Your word is how you are measured as a man, make sure that people see you as a man of integrity. 5. Build Your Life One Brick at a Time Success in entrepreneurship rarely comes in fast spurts. It comes through building your business one brick at a time, a few bricks a day. When you wake up each day, focus on 3-5 things that you need to accomplish that will grow your business. After several years of this daily ritual, you will be successful. Like Charlie Monger said “Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts…. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day–if you live long enough–most people get what they deserve.”

Jerod Zavistoski is the international bestselling author of “Methodology of The Modern Male: A Modern Man’s Guide to Personal Excellence”, a motivational speaker and LA’s premiere dating coach. Favorite Success Quote “There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.” ~Søren Kierkegaard “This won’t kill you, just do it” Key Points 1. The Only Person Who Can Fix Anything is You One of the most common themes in the Knowledge for Men interviews is personal responsibility, and this should come as little surprise. When you are in a victim mode, there is very little that you can do to change your life. If you are constantly blaming other people for your lack of success, you will never take the action necessary to achieve the success you are after. The only person who can fix your life is you. Take 100% responsibility for everything in your life and start making moves to get your life to the level you want to be. 2. Be Careful You Build the Right Package All men are trying to build themselves into a “package.” They are trying to become a certain type of person, and typically the motivation for this is their desire for more beautiful women. While there is nothing wrong with this, men need to take care to make sure they are fully educated and building the right package, one that will not only lead to success with women, but success in your health, in your business, and most importantly fulfillment with life. 3. Men Are Emotional Creatures Something many men fail to realize in their pursuit of becoming the “Alpha” is that men are inherently emotional creatures, we are just different emotional creatures then women are. It is learning how to harness and share these emotions where men often fail. Expressing your emotions, your fears, your desires, and your pain is not unmanly. Vulnerability is an inherently manly thing to do as it opens you up to pain and ridicule and shows that you have true strength of character and confidence in yourself. 4. Move Towards Discomfort  A comfortable life is the killer of all great dreams. If you are living in comfort, you have no reason to pursue greatness. I mean think about it, why risk pain and suffering whenever what you are doing right now has earned you the big ass TV, the house, the car, and a cute girlfriend? Why push to become more than you are? You have to move towards discomfort, because the simple fact is, if you don’t move towards it, it will move towards you. The more open and prepared you are to face discomfort, the more at ease you will be when adversity strikes (and it will strike). If you are constantly living a life of ease, even the smallest of setbacks can make you feel as if your life is crashing in around you. 5. Open Up Your Mind You can never be a truly complete man until you are willing to let go of your prejudices and open up your mind, until you are willing to examine news ideas, new ways of thinking and new lifestyles without judgement.

Integrated feminine wholeness coach Morgan Day Cecil's message is that God designed you to embrace your inner sexy, and you deserve to lean into it. We are new friends, and already her femininity has inspired me. I hope she will inspire you to embrace your womanhood and sexiness as well. We talk about owning your sexuality for you, and not another person. We explore a topic I never have discussed publicly yet:  self-pleasure a.k.a. masturbation.  How to Embrace Your Sexuality When women ask how to embrace their sexuality, they are asking the permission to find freedom. “We want a feeling of authenticity and freedom and wholeness in this area of life that sometimes seems scary and shameful.” The typical definition of ‘sex' is focused on the male experience. “I want to feel alive. I want to feel desired, loved, wanted.” Often, people see sex as the answer to these needs. Morgan recalls how her relationship with sex changed before and after becoming Christian and finding a deeper understanding of her sexuality. “I started experiencing my sexuality through sensuality.” Your Sexuality Is for You One of the biggest lies I believed was that my sexuality was for another person. But then I bought myself some La Perla lingerie for me, because I am worth being connected to my sexuality whether or not a man gets to experience that. Morgan went on a retreat in Rome and distinctly remembers bringing these women to buy lingerie for themselves. “It doesn't have to be about men. When that masculine energy comes in, we feel like we are in the seat of power. Not power over, but power that belongs to us because we are inhabiting our wholeness.” Too often, female sexuality is seen as dangerous and manipulative. “It's this divine dance of intimacy that we are invited to be a part of.” Coming to a deeper understanding your own sexuality is to become closer to God. “Start intentionally making love with nature.” Heartbreak to Healing Morgan found herself pregnant with the child of a man who wanted nothing to do with it. She reflects on the moments of loneliness in this time. Fear and anxiety led her to the hospital, but she left with a clearer vision for her life. “I empowered myself to do what I could from where I was at.” She was in the Cinderella mindset: “Somebody else has the power to give me a beautiful life.” Inviting God into the Desire Masturbation is one of the number thinsg Christian women ask us about. Intentional self-pleasuring can be a very sacred practice. Most people masturbate in a fantasy that is devoid of any real emotion. We talk about the slippery slope between the experiences women can have with self-pleasure. To avoid the wrong experiences, we have to ask ourselves, “What story preceded this desire? Was it a story where the theme is fear or love?” If self-pleasure seems like a big step for you, go at the pace you feel comfortable with. Maybe that means just being present in nature. This is your journey and you make all of the decisions. I am so grateful for Morgan and for this unexpected turn in our conversation that I hope will speak to your souls. You can keep up with her at her website. She also posts videos to YouTube daily and she has a workbook available called “A New Narrative.” This episode is brought to you by Steereo.com.

Identifying and living by your core values has more to do with creating sustainable success in life than what most people realize.   Here’s why: True and lasting success is based on who we are way more than on the goals we set or even the goals we accomplish. Sustainable success in all areas of business and life is based on who we are. Character is the creator of who we are. Therefore character is the creator of all true and sustainable success. The foundation of character is knowing what you stand for and standing for what you know.  Therefore, the basis of character is knowing and standing for your personal values. What are Personal Values? Our personal values are your standards of ethics and behavior.  They set the boundaries by which you live your life.  They are the overarching system for how you define success in your life. Our values affect every area of our life:  physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual, financial and certainly our business life. Values are not practices.  They are guiding principles that effect everything.  Our guiding principles are fundamental, enduring truths that have universal application. Those principles give meaning to our life and a reason for being. Concepts like integrity, honesty, quality, service, excellence, and fairness are principles that guide human conduct. What Are the Non-Negotiable Principles that Guide Your Life?   If you haven’t taken time to define your personal values, now is the time.  If you’ve read many books or gone to many seminars on business success you’ll know that defining core values for your business is foundational to creating a culture of success in your business.  Just like every successful company has clear values that guide decisions and actions, so every successful person has clear individual values that guide their decisions and actions. What Does It Mean for You to be a Good Person? When you ask some people what they want out of life, their number one answer is often something like, “I want to be happy.” Or “I want to make more money.” I think our whole world would be in much better shape if the number one answer was “I want to be a good person.” We’re going to encourage you to take time to write down a list of the values that guide your life…those things that define what it is for you to be a truly good person. For example, do you value, always doing the right thing, or authentic friendships, or a healthy lifestyle, or continual personal or spiritual growth, or strong family relationships? Personal values refer to the standards of ethics and behavior that are important to you. They set the boundaries by which you live your life. They help set priorities in your life and draw lines of what you will and will not do to reach your goals. They influence every decision you make. Values are the guiding principles that affect every part of your life: physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual, financial, and business. How to Begin Discovering What’s Really Important to You One way to help you identify your personal values is to think of how you would like to be remembered if you died today. What would you want to be written on your tombstone? Personal values like honesty, hard work, fatherhood, and love for family. These principles give meaning to your life and a reason for being. When your business is aligned with your personal values your work gains purpose.  When your family values are aligned with your personal values then your family takes on whole new direction and meaning. If you did die today, what would people say about you and your character — how you lived your life? More importantly — what would you WANT them to say? What would your spouse say? Your children and family? Your friends? Your business associates? Your God? Your community? How you want to be remembered by each of these relationships can help you understand what’s really important — to you. Not What You Think You SHOULD Value Identify the values that are important to you. Don’t confuse them with values you feel you should have. Your core values are not what others think you should believe in or what you think others think you should believe in. Trying to live up to values that are not your own will only lead to resentment. Basis for Family Unity and Success Your personal core values will lay the foundation for the core values that you establish and live by in your family.  Every decision, action or reaction in your home will be guided by these values.  Your future generations will be guided by these values that are an overflow of what you value.  Your core values, more than any other factor, will impact the quality and impact of the legacy that you leave behind on this earth. Basis for Business Meaning and Success How does getting clear on your personal values relate to your business or work life? Life is more than just a paycheck. Your work is a part of you.  You invest a significant portion of the best days and best years of your life in making a living.  So, make sure that the way you go about making a living is in alignment with your core values and allows you to live out your non-negotiable principles of behavior. Integrating your core values into your vocation is one of the rewarding aspects of owning a business. If you are a business owner, you have the privilege of creating a business that has core values that reflect your personal core values. When you align your business values with your personal values, it’s a powerful motivating force. Your work gains purpose. It will instill passion and energy in you. And, if done in a participative manner, it will also instill passion and energy for your business in your employees, customers, vendors, and anyone else you work with. How to Discover Your Personal Core Values Start by brainstorming a list of potential core values that you want to define your life.  To help you get your started brainstorming your potential values, we are providing a list of sample values that might spark some ideas in your mind. There’s a list of simple one word values and another list of values that are expressed as an action phrase.  Either way of expressing your values is fine…however, there is often a little extra power in turning your values statements into action phrases so we are going to encourage you to do that by the end of this process. The list we post or the values we share are by no means an exhaustive list of personal values someone could have. And again, we are not necessarily recommending any of these specific values for you.  These are just samples.  So please only check those that are important to you and write in others that come to your mind that are important to you but not on this list. This is for YOU to define what it means for YOU to have been a really great person who succeeds in all aspects of life. Prioritize Your Values After you brainstorm a list of potential values that could be important to you.  Then see if you can prioritize and write down your top five or ten personal values.  Ideally, you’ll end up paring the list down to number of values that you can keep in mind, keep in front of you and keep using to guide all your decisions and actions.  Ideally, you’re going to post our core values somewhere where you will be reminded to live your life based on these values.  Ideally over time you will evaluate how well you actually live each of your values and what you would need to start, change or stop to live each value more fully. If you’re like me, there were quite a few things that are important to me.  I mean, who wouldn’t say that “honesty” is good, right?  But even though you may be an honest person, you may not be as passionate about the value of honesty as you are about the value of compassion or maybe the value of excellence. So, your next step is to prioritize you’re your initial list of all the things that are important to you down to your top values.  Read back through all the values you initially wrote and rank them in order of priority then select the top 5-10 that are most important to you. Make sure there is an enduring basis of truth behind each of your core values.   That there is a universal truth behind your core values.  If you say you value having 1000 followers on social media, that’s not necessarily an enduring truth that could guide actions and decisions for the rest of your life let alone for generations to come.  Your core values should be principals that will stand the test of time as being enduring non-negotiable principles. Now it’s time for you to take action to create another system for your success.
