Content: Beliefs often work against us, whereas values work for us. Beliefs are often formed as protective reactions and from a limited childhood perspective, meaning as adults these same beliefs no longer serve us. Our deep personal values, on the other hand, are the best way for us to align ourselves with a life that leaves us peaceful and purposeful. By: Bubble Sitter
Beliefs can be changed while values rarely do. Beliefs are assumptions, and assumptions can be challenged. Values are more an integral part of who we are. Values can, however, be ‘changed’ in the sense that many of us lead our lives from values that aren’t even ours. Instead they are ‘borrowed’ from people around us – parents, peers, or partners. So we can identify this problem and ‘change’ to our own values that suit us better.
