Live Your Core Values: 30 Minute Exercise to Increase

Your Success
Our core values are the true representation of our authentic
selves. Unfortunately, our authenticity is not always what we present to the
world. The bright beacon of core values may dim under clouds other
people and circumstances cast over them. That is why it is important to
know and stand firm on what your core values are. If you put a small value
on your core values, I can assure you that the world will not raise your
price.

It doesn’t take years of soul searching and self-reflection to find your core
values. The following exercise can help you start living your best life
according to your core values in 30 minutes or less.

Grab a pen and piece of paper and let’s go!

1. D E T E R M I N E Y O U R C O R E V A L U E S . From the list below, choose and


write down every core value that resonates with you. Do not overthink your
selection. As you read through the list, simply write down the words that
feel like a core value to you personally. If you think of a value you possess
that is not on the list, write it down.

2. GROUP ALL SIMILAR VALUES TOGETHER FROM THE LIST OF

to you, personally. Create a maximum of five groupings. If you have more
than five groupings, drop the least important grouping(s). See the example
below.

3. C H O O S E ONE WORD WITHIN EACH GROUPING THAT


REPRESENTS THE LABEL FOR THE ENTIRE GROUP. Again, do not
overthink your labels – there are no right or wrong answers. You are
defining the answer that is right for you. See the example below – the label
chosen for the grouping is bolded.

Abundance Acceptance Appreciation Balance Cheerfulness

actionable core value, for example:

Live in freedom.

Seek opportunities for making a difference.

Act with mindfulness.

Promote well-being.

Multiply happiness.

This will guide you in the actions you need to take to feel like you are truly
living on purpose.
5. FINALLY, WRITE YOUR CORE VALUES IN ORDER OF PRIORITY
IN YOUR PLANNER, so they are available as an easy reference when you
are faced with decisions. For example:

1. Live in freedom.

2. Act with mindfulness.

3. Promote well-being.

4. Multiply happiness.

5. Seek opportunities for making a difference.

If we can get to the place where we show up as our genuine selves, and let
each other see who we really are, the awe-inspiring ripple effect will
change the world. ~ Terrie M. Williams

The most important thing you can do for your personal success today is to
know your core values and use them to guide and lead you. Knowing core
values is important because when we need to choose or decide something,
we can do so easily by simply determining if the choice lines up with our
true values. A life lined-up with personal values is a well-lived, purpose-
filled life.
