Values

Values are intangibles. Although intangible, they are visible in how you act, the things you choose, the things you don't choose, and what you cherish.

Review the words on the following list.

Use the list to identify who you are and what's most important to you. Avoid the trap of picking values you think you "should" have. There is no right or wrong value.

If you struggle to find the perfect word, string 2 or 3 words together. Put the most significant word at the beginning, then add the words that define it more thoroughly.

Examples are: fun/play/adventure; freedom/independence
