Think of the people you admire
Values can be personified in people that you love and admire. Identifying the specific values embodied by your heroes can inspire you to adopt those values for yourself. To uncover the values that you associate with your loved ones and role models:
- Identify and write down six people who are important role models or valued connections for you.
- Think of the values they embody.

Your values are a major determinant of career choice, work decisions, and career transitions, as each may lead you down a different career path.

Observe Yourself And Learn
As you live your life, be mindful of the choices you make. For several days, consciously label the values behind your key decisions at work and at home.
If the values you chose as most important aren’t reflected in your daily life, you may not be living up to them or you may need to re-evaluate what is most important to you.
The Good And The Bad In Your Life
You can learn about your values by thinking back to the sweetest and most painful moments of your life. These moments could direct you to what you care about most.
