VALUES • What is a value? • Values are a set of emotional rules people follow to help make the right decisions in life. How does your value system help you make decisions? How does your values help you set goals? How do your values help you accomplish your goals?
How do we Choose Goals • We work toward the goals that we think are important. Part of the goal setting process is determining what is important and why. It is in this formulation of goals that our values play an important role. We are willing to put time, effort and money into the areas that we feel are important to us. These areas can change over time as our values change. The pre-teen and teen years are certainly times of transition when different sets of values are experimented with. These changing values can be a significant factor in the goals that we keep and the ones we discard or reevaluate.
