Today, we're diving deep into the idea of core values and how they shape who we are. I had a conversation with my daughter recently that got me thinking about the roots of our identity, how our roles and beliefs are just the trunk and branches of a deeper tree. We often talk about values like integrity and caring, but do we really live by them in every situation? It's easy to expect others to uphold these values while we struggle to bring them into our own lives. Let’s explore how we can better align our actions with our values and really root ourselves in what truly matters.

Do you ever wonder what your fundamental core values are?

Things like honesty, integrity, understanding, compassion, hard-working, and loyal to name just a few.

We all have them, and we all expect others to also have these core values. Especially in the way they treat us.

However, do you have your set few? And do you really show up as them in every aspect of your life?

Those are the questions I ask in this podcast.

Thank you, enjoy the podcast.

Living Deeper Lives dives deep into the essence of who we really are. Core values are at the heart of this discussion, where I explore how they shape our identities beyond just the roles we play in life. I share a personal story about a conversation with my daughter that sparked my reflection on these values. We often think we have integrity, caring, and understanding, but do we actually demonstrate these traits in our daily interactions? I urge you to consider whether you bring your core values to every aspect of your life, from work to family. It’s about making sure our roots are strong, so no matter what storms come our way, we stand firm in our beliefs and values. The episode emphasizes the importance of identifying and nurturing these core values to live a more meaningful and stable life.

Takeaways:

• Living a deeper life means understanding and embracing our core values in all aspects.
• Core values are fundamental to who we are and should guide our actions and decisions.
• It's important to reflect on whether we truly embody our stated core values in daily life.
• As we grow, we must work on developing empathy and integrity in ourselves.
• Our core values can help ground us when life gets tough and others challenge us.
