what is most importnant to you in your life?

During one of the coaching conversation, I asked one of my clients, ‘What’s most important to you in life?’

For a while, there was silence. My client tried to gather the things and was rearranging the words.

Honestly, we don’t ask ourselves this question very often. However, the beautiful thing about this is that everyone can be unique in their response!

Some would say family is the most important, some would say, love, some would call success in life very important, some would rightly point out health important, some would point out financial security and safety, and so on.

Let us understand what all these things have in common though, is that they are ‘values.’

It means, our values are the most important things to us in our lives.

Our values guide our every decision and therefore we are where we are. If we’re not clear about what is truly important to us we will not be able to take decisions.

If you ever felt difficulty in making a decision in a particular situation, it is because you weren’t clear on what you valued more in that particular situation.

All decisions really come down to values clarification.

When you know what’s important to you, making a decision is quite simple.

Remember that your values- whatever they are- creating your path by guiding you to make certain decisions and take certain actions consistently.

Not using our internal compass intelligently always leads to frustration, disappointment, lack of fulfillment in our life.

On the other hand, when you do use this internal compass intelligently and consciously you will experience a sense of certainty, and feel truly happy and fulfilled in our lives in the long term.
