How to Find Your Personal Values
Summary
- I reflect on people I admire and I consider the reasons behind my admiration, looking at the qualities they possess that I aspire to emulate.
- I evaluate my own current values, identifying traits that I am proud of and that define who I am.
- I believe simplifying is crucial; while it may be challenging, I aim to distill my core values down to a manageable number.
- I adhere to a personal guideline of narrowing down my values to a core three, which allows me to consistently remember and apply them in my daily decision-making process.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by thinking about the people you look up to the most. Ask yourself why you admire them. Is it their kindness, their work ethic, or maybe their creativity? Write down these qualities you want to have.
Next, take a good look at yourself. What are the things about you that make you feel proud? Maybe you're already kind, or you work hard just like the people you admire. Write these down too.
Now, the tricky part is making your list simple to remember. You can't focus on too many things at once. Try to pick just three values from your list that really mean a lot to you. These should be the values that you want to guide your decisions every day.
After that, make a plan on how to use these three values in your life. If one of your values is to be adventurous, maybe you'll try something new each week. Or if you value kindness, you could do one nice thing for someone every day. Write down these plans.
Remember, the values you choose should help you make choices. If you're not sure what to do, think about your three main values. They can help you decide.
By keeping your list short, you'll be able to remember your values easily. And by matching your actions with your values, you'll start to become more like the people you admire!
