If we don't learn a lesson, we are presented with it again ... and again! Once we have learned the lesson, we move on to the next.

Hierarchy of Values

Values are, for example, security, love, honesty, honor, loyalty, reliability, responsibility, etc. They stand behind our behaviors and are inner motivators. Every person uses their personal values to move towards their goals and outcomes. The feeling of personal satisfaction and wholeness results from an alignment of current behavior with personal values. The people you love or are friends with, the way you raise or would raise children, the political direction you support, how you perform your work, the clothes you wear, the food you consume, are determined by the individual values you claim for yourself.

Exercise for This Week

With the help of the following approach, I want to give you a way to explore your values more closely and thus illuminate the motivation behind your actions.

• What is important to you in life? Gather what comes to mind with this question.
• What projects, plans, endeavors, leisure activities have you pursued in recent years?

For each answer, consider the following questions:

• Why do you do that?
• What do you get from it?
• What is your purpose in doing that?
• What do you give yourself with it?

If you now have a list of important values, rank them.

Example:

The values could be: passion, imagination, freedom, development, adventure, success, and health.

Now I ask myself which value is more important to me. Is passion or imagination more important to me? Passion. Is passion more important than freedom? Yes. What is more important: passion or development? ...

So I compare all values in turn with passion. If there is no value more important than passion, then passion comes first. If there is a value that is more important, it is prioritized and compared with all others. So if, for example, success were more important than passion, then success becomes number 1. Of course, I no longer need to compare success with imagination, because imagination was less important than passion, and passion was less important than success.

After you have established the hierarchy of your values, go through your list again and explore what these values mean to you.

Ask yourself: What does love/success/passion .... mean to me?

By knowing your values and their hierarchy precisely, you can now compare your goals with your values. Through this comparison, you can define your goals more precisely (and possibly formulate new goals), but also subject your values to scrutiny. If your values support your behavior and goals, you can manage to change your life permanently.

Metaphor of the Week
The Miser

A very miserly man used to hide his gold under a tree in his garden. Every week he went to the tree, dug up the gold, and looked at it for hours.

One day, however, he found only an empty hole.

The man wailed so loudly in grief that the neighbors gathered to see what had happened. When they learned what had happened to the man, one asked, "Did you ever use the gold for anything?"

"No," wailed the miser, "I only looked at it once a week."

"Then," said the neighbor, "if you didn't use the money directly, you might as well come here every week and look at the hole."
