Today's Challenge: Envision Your Values in Action

This challenge is helping you to incorporate your values into your daily life. Divided into two parts, the first part requires you to compare your values to how you’re currently living the life and score yourself on a scale of 1-10. Am i currently living my values? 

  1. Relationship with God - 4
  2. Family - 6
  3. Relationship - 6
  4. Friendship - 2
  5. Helping - 2
  6. Financial Stability - 7
  7. Professional Achievement - 3
  8. Healthy Living, Physical appearance, make-up - 5
  9. Nature and photography - 0
  10. Technology and books - 2

I really don't have to remind myself that this result is very poor. Honestly assessing yourself can be one of the hardest things, its like hearing you tell yourself what you don't want to hear from other people. *PHEW*



The second part of the exercise requires that you list at least three actions you are currently taking or should be taking in order to honor and fulfill your values in life

1. Relationship With God - Buy a new bible to remind me  of my re-dedication. Spend time reading the word and writing down what you learn. Fast and Pray alot more.

2. Family - Be more open with my family and encourage them. Talk to them about your issues honestly. Hang out alot more. Continue to prepare myself to be a wonderful wife and mother.

3. Relationship - Be available. Be supportive, understanding and complain less. talk more. Be hopeful and have faith.

4. Friendship: Be the kind of friend i would want to have. Care. Be available. Hang out more.

5. Helping: Stop being lazy about it. leave the drawing board and start acting. Be Available.

6. Financial Stability: Save (No unnecessary spending). Save (Buy what you need, not what you want) and Save

7. Professional Achievement: Get money, enroll for classes, Get certified.

8.  Healthy Living, Physical appearance, make-up: Stop being lazy about exercising. Stop the bad eating habit. work on getting a Nigerian diet plan.

9. Nature and Photography: Read up on it. Ask questions. practice.

10. Technology and books: Get more hard cover books. Stop being lazy. read. read and Read.

This was all levels of hard, i just put myself out there and it feels good, i don't think I've been this vulnerable with myself. 

So, What would it look like for you to be able to rate yourself a "10' on how you live out all your values?

The Truth is my world would be perfect and i will be extremely happy all day, everyday with the strength to take whatever challenge daily living throws at me because of the knowledge that things are fine in the background of my life, but then this is just an assumption and the truth is i'm not the perfect 10 so i guess i would just keep working on me and obey, obey Proverbs 3: 5-6

"Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path"

Why do i love this passage so much? because its an all round answer to every situation you find yourself. While you reading this, tell him and trust him. It's worked for me.

Thanks for sticking around

Love.
