The First 10 Human Values That Give So Much Power

By Fearless Soul

Everything you think, everything you feel, every action you take is because of your beliefs and values. You may not be aware of this. You may not be conscious of it, but your values shape your decision, and your decisions shape your life.

If you valued money more than happiness, your life might be full of expensive things but there will be no joy in that experience. Your values signal what is important to you. They are emotional states that show you what is important and what you want to experience.

Imagine how different your life would be if you changed a value of money and replace it with the value of love. Creating and stating your values consciously can change the direction of your life. If you decide to apply any of these values, in your own words and in your own way, your own life will be of more value.

The following are the TEN most important Human Values.

1. Health and Energy: This might be the most important value of all to some of those who have experienced health problems. Without physical health, it is very unlikely you can experience and enjoy all other values at their deepest levels. Great health gives you energy and vitality which enables you to dive deeper into more important things in life and give more energy and time to those you love. Make value and energy a priority in your life by learning daily nutrition and exercise. It is the best to fuel your body.
2. Love: The overuse of this word makes it very easy to misunderstand the true meaning of it. This is not just romantic love, but love of all things. True, non judgmental love. The love you have for your family, your friends. The love you have for your favorite things. The love for your passion and mission. Making love a priority means there is no room for hate or indifference. You could experience love doing anything or with anyone.
3. Gratitude and Appreciation: There is truly no greater power on earth than gratitude. Real gratitude shuts down all other negative emotional moments. So how important is gratitude to you? Well, how important is it for you to feel good? If it is important, you must make gratitude to top your value and practice it as a priority every day. It costs you nothing, but it makes you rich. It takes nothing away from anyone else, but it gives you so much power.
4. Kindness and Compassion: The world would certainly be a better place if people showed more kindness and compassion, less judgment, more respect. It is placing yourself in someone else’s shoe before you judge them. Have you ever noticed how good it feels when you are kind to someone for no reason? It feels good to be kind because it is right to be kind. It is good to value kindness and compassion more.
5. Integrity: Knowing you do the right thing, even no one watching and no one will know either way. The inner knowing you always do what is right. That brings pride and inner peace. Placing value on integrity by doing the right thing. It will bring honesty and trust. Your life will be different when everyone knows you as a person of integrity.
6. Giving: This ties with kindness and compassion. As humans, we are built to give. Not just money or things but give ourselves to others in need. To serve selflessly. The law of karma always ensures what you give is returned. But that is not why you give. You give because that is your nature. It is not an effort, it is natural. It feels good and you know there is no lack.
7. Growth: Human beings are wired to grow. Growth comes from experience, from learning, from failure, from achievement, from intention. Intention to get better. This doesn’t mean getting better so you can win. It means getting better so you can give more to the world. So you can experience more. It is about becoming the greatest version of yourself. Not just for yourself, but for others. Reaching your highest potential with intention.
8. Peace: Nothing more need to be said. It is getting to that place of needing nothing. It is being in bliss.
9. Family, Friendship and Connection: It is caring about someone more than you care for yourself. It’s putting others first. It’s making time for the people you care about. It’s giving the people you love and may be strangers your complete presence and building that connection. It is making someone else’s day better. It is all about making other people smile.
10. Happiness: it is joy, playfulness. It is fun. It is non seriousness. Some try to find it through money but no type of paper will give it to you. Some try to find it through achievement and successes but they come up empty. It is within. It is a choice. It is always available and never on sale.
