Knowing your top 5 values will aid you as a decision-making tool, give  guidance during a difficult situation, and help you have a clearer understanding of your inner self. This insight will empower you to lead a happier, healthier, tailor made life for yourself.The following list of values will aid you in developing a clearer sense of what’s most important to you in life, as explained in the Vicki Langemo’s series, “Define Your Values, Focus your Life”. Simply print out this page, mark the values that most resonate ( fit )with you, and then sort your list in order of priority. As you scan the values list below, notice priorities that stand out. Look for the values that just jump out and call to you. Does this value make you say, “Yes, this value is part of me.?” The list is merely a guide. There are no right or wrong values. They all have merit but which ones mean the most to YOU. It is lengthy and contains many synonyms but is certainly not exhaustive, so feel free to add unlisted values to your list if needed.
