know this:
You have core values that are unchanging. You may conflict with people who oppose or don’t value your beliefs.
You have deeply held ideas about what is, what should be, and the purpose of your life. You naturally become enthusiastic and energetic about tasks, roles, or positions that promote your deeply held beliefs.
Some people may think you are rigid or contrary because of your strongly held beliefs.
When you live your life according to your deepest values and beliefs, you experience motivation, drive, and determination.
try this:
Your values keep you on course during the toughest times.
Keep reminders of your personal mission around you. When the going gets tough, these reminders will help you focus on your reason for being there and the valuable contribution you naturally make.
Remind yourself to keep an appropriate balance between your work and your personal life. Both areas will benefit when you dedicate enough time and attention to each.
Don't be afraid to give voice to your values. This will help others know who you are and how they can relate to you.
Actively seek projects and roles that fit your values. In particular, think about joining organizations that define their purpose by the contribution they make to the community.
Express your values outside of the workplace by volunteering for a hospital board, school board, or community organization.
Facing your personal challenge:
Your values are moulded in your formative years. They appear real and unchangeable for you, but you have to be careful that you have not merely adopted the values of someone else. Find your own truth.
Watch out for: Doing something simply because you were taught that it was the right thing to do.
