The Value of You — Start Your Journey

• 14 Nov 2017

Where are you going? Where have you been? What are you doing about it NOW? I ask you these questions because I find that in order to know how to live the life of our dreams, we need to make peace with where we’ve been, and we need to understand how to take action. While everything begins with a thought, we need a plan. And we must be willing to act!

I’m excited to share with you my new book, The Value of You, which is a guide for living a bold, fulfilling life through the power of core values. I wrote this book with you the reader in mind — because I found that my experience is shared by so many. I was moving through life aimlessly, without direction, and I was doing so without passion. I desperately needed to get back my enthusiasm.

I was doing way too many things that were mundane. I found that a lot of other people I knew were on the same path. You see, after high school and college, when we don’t know what we want, we kind of start following a plan that isn’t really in our best interest. In the process, we forfeit our right to live life on our terms, because we lack direction — we lack a a game plan to get us to where we want to be.

While all of us will go through soul-searching, the sooner we can start asking ourselves the deep, philosophical questions about what we truly want in life, the sooner we can start living a life on our terms — a life that energizes and excites us each day. There’s always hope and it’s NEVER too late to live this life. I truly believe it begins with core values.

Your Foundation

Values are to our foundation as our core (abdomen) is to our physical movement. The more we exercise and build up our core, the more dexterous we become for forward motion and direction.

In a similar way, our values become our core, the launching pad for the way we progress and behave in social interactions, and on our own, when only we know the truth. Our values are the eternal spring we can turn to for life-giving purpose, re-assessment, evaluation, encouragement, structure and renewal.

Values, when chosen properly, are of immeasurable meaning to your life and all of whom you encounter. They form the backbone for a constantly self-improving mindset which will only sharpen with time, of course when you put your wisely chosen values into practice. Values impact our thoughts, which influence our words and actions.

Values serve as the driving force behind the decisions we make and relationships we aim to build!

As I’ve found in my own personal journey, when you build the foundation of your life on time-tested core values, you gain greater direction and a firm purpose for living life on your terms. But don’t just take my word for it. Look around at successful people throughout history.

You’ll find the common thread is that great athletes like LeBron James or singers like Beyonce thought deeply and passionately about the values that mean the most to them.

Values like faith, hard work, courage, confidence and perseverance have come to define the lives of these two superstars. The same can be said for that successful friend or mentor that you admire. They probably didn’t get to where they are purely by chance. They likely kept an open mind, prioritized a disciplined life over one of frivolous pursuits. And it’s likely made all the difference.
