Yesterday I took this values exercise.
The exercise doesn’t ask you what you love and value, or what you think is important to you.
Instead, it asks how you spend your time and energy. What you do most days? What habits you regularly repeat?
And then looking at the cause behind those actions– we’ll find your values.
There were some recurring answers, and those values are much stronger than others. But the real point of this is to see if you’re living out what you admire.
Our Self-Concept is what determines our levels of success– I think therefore I am. Yeah, might sound corny… but stays true nonetheless.
Well, if you value constantly developing yourself, owning your time, growth, and health but you’re around turds who don’t– there will be residue throughout your being, and it’ll grow into anger towards those not like you.
The reason you take things personal is you see it as an attack on you.
People not like you undermine you of your values, which to an extent is true. If you value openness in communication but the other person values getting along– you’ll end up hating them, because to keep you around they think small talk is worth it. But you’ll never be close them, because you despise falseness, small talk, and idiots who can’t communicate.
I say all this to say, you NEED to become yourself to succeed and the only way to do that is to LIVE your values on your terms 100% EVERY SINGLE DAY.
There’s no half-sies.
Success is Self Esteem.
Which comes from identifying and living your values.
Stop keeping deadbeats around you. This is your movie, be selfish, you’re the main character after all.
Or would you like to disappear into the background of your own story?
