“A Value-Driven Life
* Knowing the things, ideas, experiences, and people that we value in our life.
* Knowing your values will motivate you and help illuminate your path.
* Your pain, complaints, and distressing feelings often point directly to your values and can be accepted.
* You can choose relationships based on your values and recognize that relationships aren't easy or good all the time.
* Living in accordance with my values will lead me to moments of happiness and struggle. It can all exist at the same time.”
