9.21 Values

 

Adaptability:

This is one of my most important values, and something I battle with. It is essential in life to be able to adapt to change. One thing I struggle with is adapting to change. I get too comfortable with current situations, that when a slight shift happens it’s like my whole world falls apart. Recently, I’ve been learning to come to terms with things, especially when they’re beyond my control. In order for me to grow, and people in general, we have to accept things and manage to work around it. There are situations that happen in life where we wish we could change, but we just have to push through it. Without these experiences, we wouldn’t have the knowledge to improve.

Making a difference:

I'm a natural trainer. I lack patience when it comes to every other situation except when it comes to wanting to help learn/train. I have a great enjoyment in seeing other people successfully grasp what I'm trying to teach them.  

Adventure:

I love being outdoors. I feel really connected with nature and the outdoors, as I feel so free and open and not so confined to an indoor environment. I like being able to try new things, as there's a whole world of opportunities.

Understanding:

When interacting with others, I always try to understand where people are coming from (their point of view). People go through their own problems, whether it’s mentally or externally, so I strive to be mindful of that. How I look as it as: if I'm feeling this way mentally, there are so many other people who feel the same yet aren't open about it. Because of this, I interact and care for people the same way I would want it to be given to me.

Self-discipline:

This ties hand in hand with accountability, and another value I do hold strong yet struggle with. I tend to react based on how I'm currently feeling, rather than looking at the whole picture. This has caused me to get into tough situations. Holding myself accountable for my actions and taking responsibility would greatly benefit me to know how to improve and react in future encounters.
