Content: Values” are what you hold most important in life. They are the core beliefs that shape who you are as a person, and how you live your life. Reflecting on your values will help you determine what is truly important to you. For example, “being a good parent” or “spending time with friends” could be valued. These are things that help you define your sense of your best self. “Value congruence” is how much your behavior aligns with your values. For example, if a value is “spending time with friends,” but you always allow work to take precedence over socializing, that isn't value-congruent. Behavior that isn't value-congruent can cause you to feel dissatisfied, unhappy, or guilty. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/0f\/Be-a-Better-Person-Step-3-Version-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Be-a-Better-Person-Step-3-Version-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/0f\/Be-a-Better-Person-Step-3-Version-5.jpg\/aid163102-v4-728px-Be-a-Better-Person-Step-3-Version-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
