What you value creates your reality
Simply put, values are energy. They motivate us, so that we want to move toward the people and things we feel share our values—and away from the ones we feel do not. Our values direct how we prioritize things in our lives, how we make decisions, and what actions we take, in every moment. Some values have been with us since early in life, and may stay with us for a lifetime. Others become more important with life experience and the realization that we can choose our values. It’s up to us.
Mostly, our values don’t operate in isolation. They cluster together in patterns of energy, emotion and thinking that are unique to each of us, making each of us who we are.

VALUES ARE CHOICES

VALUES COME IN CLUSTERS
It makes a difference what value combines with what other. Our values clusters make us unique.

DIFFERENT PEOPLE DEFINE THE SAME VALUE DIFFERENTLY
What Respect means to me and what Respect means to you may mean very different things. Having a values dialogue can make the difference between conflict and communication.
