Comments on: What Are Your Values? The Most Important Values to Live By http://www.thebridgemaker.com/what-are-your-values-the-most-important-values-to-live-by/ Simple paths to positive change Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:51:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Rob http://www.thebridgemaker.com/what-are-your-values-the-most-important-values-to-live-by/comment-page-1/#comment-13841 Rob Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:56:32 +0000 http://www.thebridgemaker.com/?p=498#comment-13841 This is a great list but I can't help thinking if a lot of these are actually values at all, rather a means to an ends. For example, let take your first one appreciation. Of course it's important to appreciate people, things and deeds but what is the value if one accepts that appreciation is a means to an ends. What are the conditions or the test for appreciation. When we appreciate something what do we do? For me, and of course everyone is different, appreciation is a test or condition for many values including love - I appreciate the people I love and I feel loved when I am appreciated, fulfilment - I get fulfilment when I appreciate people and things around me but also when I am appreciated for an investment of my time, emotions or deeds etc etc. I agree with everything you have said but for me, the list of values need to be reduced down to ones that can be felt or used often in many different ways and conditions set to enable them to be easier to feel or achieve than negative / counter values.

This is a collection of everything I was raised on. I have tried to pass along these very needed values/characteristics to teenagers, young adults, & wayward adults seeking a high school diploma/GED. I'm raising my daughter on these same principles. It's nice to see it all so neatly & concisely put together. Excellent advice that I am going to share to all my FB friends! Thanks! Wow!
