1. I believe that these values do accurately reflect what is of greatest importance to me. There are alternate values that perhaps could have landed on this list, but these values ring true to me and are an accurate portrayal of that which I hold dear to me and use as guidance within my life decisions. 2. The most difficult values to discard were forgiveness, loving, and nurturing. I had an arduous time ranking items such as God’s will and friendship. My predicament with God’s will was my ruling on whether it was legitimately ‘very important’ to me, or whether I simply knew that it should be. It’s

Based on my week, I spend the bulk of my time on school associated activities. This was not a surprise to me, what I was surprised by was the small amounts of time that I devote to my religion. Although I attend seminary, read my scriptures, and pray everyday, the accumulative time of all on these activities adds to just over an hour a day. I am quite aware of how I spend my time, it is very unusual for me to lay around and waste time of useless tasks.
2. Based on my week, I can only largely identify two main values from exercise #1: knowledge and service. This makes sense because I spend 32 hours sitting in class a week. This doesn’t include time spent on homework or other corresponding activities. Something that did not make too large of an appearance was my spirituality. I will admit that my scripture studies and other related activities were extremely diminished this week. But it is to be expected that my religion isn’t quite as evident within my daily schedule because it isn’t practical to spend over 4 hours a day reading scriptures, there simply isn’t enough time. True spirituality is seen through more subtle actions than in extravagant activities that draw large amounts of attention. With this considered, I do still need to increase the amount of time I spend improving my
With regard to the survey, I find them all important. However, some are very critical when making important decisions such as career choices. The first six are especially salient. First, one must use their God-given common sense. Secondly, one must always consult God's word as expressed in the Bible. Thirdly, one must always consider the circumstances in looking for doors/windows of opportunity to advance the work of God in the world. Fourth, one needs the peace of the Holy Spirit to be able to make things work. Fifth, one must always consult with wise counsel when making important decisions in ones life. Finally, one must always pray for God's will to map out the correct path to follow.
My values and beliefs have changed over the years and will continue to as I grow and develop as an individual. May main vales and beliefs are as follows:
3.) I love to stay active which includes swimming and golf. Values: accomplishments, health, advanced, education, freedom,
Personally, it is not difficult to identify the core values that I hold dear, that guide my behavior. It is, however, much more difficult to rank them in terms of their importance to me. If I’m paring down a list of important values that I believe are most influential to me, responsibility, sacrifice, laughter, and integrity stand out as those that simply guide my behavior on a regular basis. If I’m attempting to put them in order, it would be as follows:
I believe that a value is something that is important to an individual and the values that I believe in play a very important role in my life. My values are greatly influenced by my family. My values include family, health, being respectful and non-judgmental. I also value my daughter, my friends and being honest. I believe that a value is something that you should assign love and
I have to make the choice not to sit in front of the TV for entertainment and rest. I utilize that time for coveted family conversation instead. I utilize my time on the exercise bike as prime reading time for school. I take advantage of lunch and break time at work to read or complete assignments. I also “accept with grace the limitations of life.” Smith (2011) He also said “we cannot do all that we wish we could, and we cannot be all things to all people” and this is certainly the truth. I remind myself of the saying “let go and let God.” When I feel anxious about what I think I should do for others. It is best for me to have calmness with regards to my schedule and to have the “space” in my schedule that Smith talked about. This means that I say no to the things that are not necessarily mine and that do not line up with my current call. To wrap it up, I will remain faithful to what I feel God has called me to and I will maintain that it is a priority. I will protect my time and take advantage of my resources to maintain order in the business of life as a college student and I will remain faithful to finish
What are values and how do they relate to the other terms identified in the introduction? An investigation from multiple sources agrees that values are the motivations and behaviors used to determine priorities of what one sees as important in life and work (MindTools.com, 2017; Atkins, 2017; Value, n.d.). Applying this definition to the values I hold include a list of characteristics that define how I desire to represent myself. First, commitment to my principles, which my faith as a Christian
Looking at the analysis of the quotes the values that must choose are related to time (repetition and habit) and space. Again, values are something that one values, but also something that you express by the ways of what you do. After comparing a list of various values, like stated before the values that describe me the best that I came up and has the most value to me are compassion and giving. These values were compared by close family and friends, that agrees with the values. The first one compassion came up by myself, and even though wasn’t brought up by family it was agreed by the values they brought up. The second value I came up on my own and as well when talking and asking
Lessons from Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven can be helpful to the lives of people in today's society. The lessons are vital to the way these people live once they have learned them. Three of these values that help people live better lives today are sacrifice, purpose, and anger. Sacrifice is a part of life. Everybody makes sacrifices for other people.
Values: I believe my values “that are most important” (Christians, 2013, p.1) apply to this situation are as follows:
The terminus value that are most important are courageous, forgiving, and honest. Being courageous show strength. Stand up for one a person’s beliefs is important and it shows where he or she stands on impending issues when they do arise. Forgiving is definitely a value one needs while being in leadership. A person should be able to pardon a person when transgression have been committed
Values are intangible things that are important to us, and that guide us, individually, to make decisions. Each person has a different set of values, morals, and ethics, which is the reason that each person handles a situation differently. Here, I will discuss my top 5 values, and why they are important to me.
I am unable to commit one full 24-hour period toward these disciplines but each week, I spend one morning block focusing on these habits. Many Monday I have spent fishing, golfing, or even walking through the woods in time of quiet reflection. I always do things in solitude. The earlier in the morning I often find it better to find solitude and time to be alone in prayer. When I return I nap, rest as my body needs, and spend extended time in journaling, and personal study. I often spend time with my family days that my kids are home from school. We ride bikes, play together and spend intentional time
Over the course of my life my values have changed based on circumstance. Currently if I had to list out my top five values in descending order they would be: religion, family, education, country, and culture. I value religion first and foremost because of my beliefs system that has been instilled in me since I was a child. " If you place God first in your life, then everything else will work itself out", is something my Grandfather has always told me. Family is something that doesn 't necessarily come first, but is a very high value to me. I identify as being a very caring father and husband, the protector, and head of my household. My family has always been supportive of my decisions. They have influenced me to always give my best at everything and to persevere when I fail. Education is the new value that has began to take a precedence in my life. Education is the bridge to success that I am striving to succeed at. Without education I cannot properly attend to my family 's needs. The time demand of education also puts it very high on my values list because it warrants the majority of my attention.
Values often use modified methods and styles; I have utilized these different ethics in my career, which has aided me in improving, the environment at work and in my life. Having these particular skills of approaching situations causes an optimistic environment, respect for others, honesty, and reliable outcomes. I have had the comfort of knowing whether, you’re working or at home or out in public, individuals appreciate this kind of merit. These values cause high points in your character with families, patients and your colleagues. Real richness comes from knowing you’re assisting patients with top-quality care, and these goals are obtainable. Identification of these values prepares an
