The second reason I have been thinking about Community is because I attended a workshop on understanding what your core values are personally. She, the host Lisa Condon, used Value Cards as a tool to help provide clarity on what grounds you, a foundation from which to grow and strengthen and an opportunity to set clear boundaries. It wasn’t the easiest task as we started with 71 cards and though various rounds got it down to TWO Cards! Yup you guessed it, one of my core values is COMMUNITY! 😍
So what are core values and how does this relate to personal growth —Yes GROWTH was my other card. How do these relate?
Core values serve as guiding principles that shape our behavior, decisions, and interactions with the world. They represent what is most important to us and provide a framework for living a meaningful and fulfilling life. Personal growth, on the other hand, is the ongoing process of self-improvement, learning, and development aimed at realizing our full potential and becoming the best version of ourselves.
The relationship between core values and personal growth is profound. Our core values act as a compass, guiding us toward experiences and pursuits that align with who we are at our core. When we live in accordance with our values, we tend to experience greater fulfillment and satisfaction in life. Personal growth often involves reflecting on our values, identifying areas where we can further align our actions with those values, and taking intentional steps to cultivate positive change.
Additionally, personal growth may challenge us to reassess our core values and adapt them as we evolve as individuals. As we encounter new experiences, learn from them, and evolve over time, our values may shift or deepen, leading to a more refined understanding of what truly matters to us.
Ultimately, both core values and personal growth are essential components of a PURPOSEFUL and MEANINGFUL LIFE. By continuously striving to live in alignment with our values and embracing opportunities for growth and development, we can cultivate a sense of authenticity, fulfillment, and personal well-being. ❤️ I am sooo happy I did this workshop and highly recommend it. I will note that I haven’t gone through the Value Cards for my business yet. It’s another set of cards and I wish to process these first then apply the same technique we did to these so stay tuned!!
