Values Assessment
“The
best things in life aren’t things.”
- Art Buchwald
VALUES:
- Becoming
aware of what you really value and cherish is a lifelong process.
- Values are
unique to each person.
- Your values
lead you to make decisions about your whole life, not just
your career.
- To select
a satisfying career, it is necessary that your job fulfills
many of your needs and wants. Your occupation should also directly
reflect your values.
- Clarifying
your values and their order of importance can eliminate a great
deal of conflict as you set goals.
- For example,
if want to own a yacht and a 2nd vacation home, becoming a
social worker or teacher is not the quickest way to reach this
goal. You must decide which you value more.
- Sometimes
you can have it both but many times you must compromise. Your
compromise will be based on your values and their order of
importance.
- Remember
values are what you do not what you say!
