Important Values In Life


Important Values In Life

 


Life is one adrenaline filled roller coaster ride. At one moment you are cruising towards the sky, while on the very next your heart comes to your mouth as you hurtle down empty space. Such ups and downs are an integral part of life and we can do nothing about it, but only hope to make them better. In this, more than the material comforts, it is the mindset that can turn the life for better or for worse. Such mindsets that work as a catalyst or as unspoken rules can be called as values. Life will go on, if you have values or not, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that only values can draw the line between humans and animals, angels and devils, the good and the bad. Everyone holds certain values that he/she follows, but the difference arises in how strictly one adheres to those values. No one can force values on others and one must inculcate certain values in their life not only for themselves, but also to better the world. Read the article given below to know some of the most important values in life.  
 
Personal Values Of Life
 
Honesty
Honesty can be considered to be the most important value in life. Honesty is the foundation from which all the other values find their footing on and the enrichment to grow. Honesty is not only recognizing one’s mistake, but taking every step to avoid that mistake. So, more than any one, it is to yourself that you must admit that you have made a mistake. An honest person will always accept the consequence of his/her mistake with good grace. Not for nothing is it said that “honesty is the best policy”, as the success of all values depend on how one follows them with honesty.
 
Compassion
Compassion is not only taking care of your fellow beings, but in empathizing with them. Anyone can donate money and materials for the needy, but know that satiating monetary or material needs doesn’t show compassion. Compassion is when one goes out of the way to help those in need, giving them his/her time and energy. Understanding the situation of the desperate and coming out with solutions is another way you can show your compassion. A compassionate person will not only show compassion against his/her fellow beings, but also towards all creatures big and small.
 
Discipline
Life without discipline is like a car with a drunk driver. That is, without discipline, one goes through life erratically, bumping here and there and sometimes crashing all together. Discipline is not routine per say, but the acceptance of responsibility. It can be said that a discipline person is a responsible person. Unlike routine, which is just a monotonous repetition of certain activities, discipline is the act of balancing fun and work and coming out with exceptional results, both professionally and personally.
 
Love
Love is the most important value that opens the heart and the mind. The concept of love here encompasses everyone. To love one’s friends and family is natural and easy. It is to love those who are unlikely to deserve your love that counts. Love will help you to see others in a new light, to see what is the best in them, and appreciate for who they are and the qualities they possess. When you open yourself to love, you will find that you are more at ease and have more faith in the world.
 
Respect
One can never hope to love people unless one cultivates a respect for them. Thus, without respect no other values can seek to attain a toe hold. When one develops respect for people, it helps in understanding the positive aspects of them. Remember that the more respect that you give to people the more respect you will get in return
