Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 553 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I was recently with a friend who was telling me that he was totally dissatisfied with his life. He wasn’t happy. He couldn’t think of anything that gave his life great value.
What is really a value and how does it match in your life? A life that expresses your own values.
You see, research of happy people, reveals that a key component of happiness is the ability to identify your true needs and then to make it a priority to pursue them. You have to know what you want, you certainly have to know where you are coming from and where you are going, and where you stand right now, it is a life that expresses your own values.
Now, the values are the things in life that really matter to you, whatever they may be. They’re not the things that are dictated from perhaps outside sources: teachers, friends, professors, parents, families, governments… No, they are your own values. They are completely personal. It could it be about intimate relationship that you have with someone or the cultivating of wisdom?
Regardless of this opportunity to live those values, you have to be happy with them and those are the things that you have to identify with. What are they for you? Gardening, valuing music, traveling, what is it? There are so many beautiful things and each one of us is different in life so we may have different values. But I’ll tell you the basis for most of these values, it’s always based on goodness, kindness, and if you’re not as happy as you want to be, perhaps, that’s a suggestion, you’re not aware of the values that you wish to incorporate in your life, then let me make a suggestion: here is something that you might want to try (I read it myself in a book): take a piece of paper and a pen and without stopping, right down the first seven words that come to your mind when you think of what really matters to you – wisdom, integrity, warm weather, sleeping, helping others, security, kindness, money. Just write these words down. You will see and you will find that in your list, those values are the ones that you cherish the most. That’s what you want to pursue. Make it an effort, a concerted effort to pursue these values and develop them for yourself, and for those around you. Make it so that they become a part of your life and a fabric of your destiny. Things like pride, satisfaction, joy, fulfillment, harmony, all those beautiful things are the rewards of understanding the values and bringing them to our world.
There is a book, an ancient book that was given to us by the Creator of the world called “The Bible” and it contains amazing hundreds of warnings and examples. Warnings, to make sure we don’t emulate them and examples, to make sure we remember. Whatever your wish is, make sure that you know your values and you follow them through, because they are essential to your life, your happiness, and your future.
