Why Your Values Matter
A value is a principle or standard that you feel is important - a quality you admire, aim to model yourself on, and strive for on a regular basis. Values are the magnets of your moral compass. By referring to them in times of both happiness and hardship, values allow you to make difficult decisions with conviction.
"value /ˈvælju/ noun: a strongly held belief about what is valuable, important, or acceptable".
