What You Do Next is 100% Dependent on Your Values
Your next move has nothing to do with your goals. Literally, after you finish reading this short post, the very next thing you do is 100% dependent on your values not your goals.
Goals are outcomes, values are behaviors. Simply put, you can’t wish your way to a goal, you can’t “sad” your way to a goal, and you can’t “anger” your way to a goal. You have to behave your way there. What’s more, values define how you will behave regardless of the outcome.
Resilience comes from values. Self-motivation comes from values. Self-control comes from values. Discipline comes from values. Mental toughness comes from values. Work ethic comes from values. Integrity comes from values.
What separates those who reach their goals and those who don’t are values. Everything in life comes down to how your values guide you to make the next thing you do a behavior that either helps you or hurts you.
