What makes life worth living? What gets you out of bed in the morning, gives you drive, and fills your life with meaning and purpose? It's Values. Today I discuss why values are so vital to a successful and happy life. Highlights: What values are and why they're so important No one can choose or achieve your values for you—YOU have to do it (I tell you how) Why values must be ranked (1st, 2nd, 3rd) The 7 value areas How knowing your values (and how they rank) makes making decisions easier Pursue your values selfishly and without guilt  Listen now and enjoy! Today's Success Challenge Do a Values Inventory. Take the 7 value areas I went over (career, romantic relationship (kids), health, friends/family, hobbies/leisure, finances, lifestyle), or you can create your own, go through each category, and ask yourself these questions: Are you satisfied with this value? What do you like about it, and what do you not like about it? If you’re NOT satisfied with this value, what would you ideally want? Be totally selfish and not worry about if it’s possible—give yourself permission to really think and dream about what YOU want and what really excites you. **You can leave your comments below Share the Value If you enjoyed the show, please rate it on iTunes and write a brief review.
