What if you knew exactly what you wanted?

(And what if you actually had the energy to go after it because you stopped saying yes to all those things you don’t want?)

(And what if I told you values were the key to all of it?)

**recordscratch** SAY WHAT?! Values? Liiiiike those lists of words I see on posters in elementary school lunchrooms and car dealerships?

Yes. THOSE VALUES. Except not. 

When I say values, I’m not talking about empty promises meant to appease bureaucratic checklists, I’m talking about your personal (and completely unique) set of guidelines for fulfillment. 

I’m talking about the things that light you up. WAY UP.  And the things that bring you down. WAY DOWN. 

And all the things in between—the big, the mundane, the ones you do out of obligation and the ones you skip out of doubt. 

And guess what? Having a handle on your values is a key to understanding all the things you want, all the ones you don’t, and how to tell the difference.
