Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

CLARIFY YOUR VALUES
In our strategic planning sessions, both for corporations and for in-
dividuals, we start off by asking people to define and clarify their
values. You must do the same in your own personal strategic plan-
ning. What are 
your values
? What is it that you believe in? What do
you stand for? What will you 
not
stand for?
Your ability to clearly define your values is the starting point of
your developing the kind of character that causes people to want to
be associated with you and which will lead you inevitably to enjoy-
ing a good life. When you have a fine and noble character, rooted in
solid, life-affirming values, you will be a genuinely good person. As
a result, you will be happy inside, no matter what is going on
around you.
