Every decision you make is a direct reflection of what you value. 
Values run our lives.
Unfortunately, we have two levels of values – those that are conscious and those that often remain unspoken. And, many of those unspoken values are directing our paths.
For example, you may claim you value self-respect. However, unconsciously, you value companionship more. The end result is finding yourself in an unhealthy relationship. You’ve unknowingly created a hierarchy of values that betrays what you say.
For the longest time, I valued security without ever acknowledging it. Unfortunately, it was at the expense of my truest self. I was suppressing the truth of who I was in order to secure a future that wasn’t resonating with me. It wasn’t until I shed light on this buried value that I could eliminate it and make room for what has now become a core value – authenticity.
If life isn’t matching up with what you desire, you must ask yourself about hidden values. What are you clinging to? What needs to be replaced?
What do you really value?
This line is gold! “I was suppressing the truth of who I was in order to secure a future that wasn’t resonating with me.” It is so thought-provoking what you have said. Some values don’t align with our actions… we may think they do but sometimes there’s hidden resistance that self-sabotages us and that don’t end up serving our highest intentions.
