Remember that patience is a virtue values held dear by us. Our values form the cornerstones for all we do and accomplish. We tend to base most of our choices and actions in life on the top 10 - 15 most important priority values that we hold dear.

However, we must exercise extreme care so that we do not confuse values with what are important aspects of our lives. What is important in our lives, cannot be regarded as values, for example… family, church and professionalism. When we define what we value most about each of these, then we are identifying our real values. For instance… the real value in the family might be close relationships; in the church, spirituality and work, staying on top of new technological advancements.

The following are some examples of possible values… ambition, competency, individuality, equality, integrity, service, responsibility, accuracy, respect, dedication, diversity, improvement, enjoyment/fun, loyalty, credibility, honesty, innovativeness, cooperation, excellence, accountabilityplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigAccountability

A sound and clearly defined value statement gives meaning to both our vision & mission statements, and also provide purpose and value to our legacy statement.
