Personal Values Assessment


Over at Magpie Girl's site there's an invitation to list 8 values by which we live our lives. A little space, a little thought and here's the personal list from me.....with some license for listing Self-Esteem in the mix, I'm not sure that qualifies as a value........but seems important to me in my "values mix."

Love - Everything else is secondary to this value for me
Faith - Love and faith are almost tied for first place
Service - To family and to community
Generosity - I have been shown such generosity in my life, I find it only right that I should continue to show others a full measure of it
Integrity - is a desire that I find extraordinarily important for me
Honesty - perhaps to a fault, I believe in honesty
Compassion - is so entertwined with love as to be almost inseparable
Self-Esteem - See above. I've been working on this one all of my life and I feel more and more comfortable with it all the time, in fact downright folksy with it:)

  1. You forgot creativity...is it a value? I think so. Beautiful collage Dianna. I love the branches on the side.

  2. Katherine - it probably is:) Looks like the self-esteem was not in high gear when I made the list! You are kind with your comment and I treasure it coming from you. Thank you.

  3. Your collage is really my type of art.

    I really like the value challenge. I did this activity for my business a year ago and have allowed it to drive every activity since then.

  4. Hi Claire,

    Glad you find the collage appealing.

    The value challenge an interesting exercise - one we should probably review and renew often. Hope to see you again soon.

  8. Isn't it amazing how much generosity begets generosity? It's one of my favorite synergies in the world.

    Thanks for contributing to *8Things.

    Cheers,
