Values

Have you ever thought about values?

Do you have clarity about your own values?

Let’s look back to our ancestors. What values did our grandparents learn and whom from? What values did our parents and carer teach us? Have we deliberately chosen our values or do we apply what we were taught?

Very early in life we learned the concept of „good or bad“ and „right or wrong“ without being aware that this is what happened to us. It is so deeply embedded in our subconscious mind that we are mostly unaware why we decided the way we do.

Playing with matches was „bad“ when we were kids…. as adults this is no longer a „bad“ thing to do. Watching carefully before crossing a street was „good“ thing then and still is today. These examples are easy to relate to.

Let’s dive in a little deeper. You were probably not allowed to talk to strangers as a kid. Are you still suspicious towards strangers? In a reasonable way or can you still hear the voice of your carers in your head „that you are not allowed“ to talk to strangers?

How does what you have learned as a child still influence your behaviour today?

How does that behaviour serve you today?

Enjoy the thought process that has just started in your head!
