I think everyone comes to value things in their life
differently. To me, I come to value things by what is important in my life and
how I want to not only treat others, but be treated as well. I think having
values is important because it guides how you represent yourself and carry
yourself in day-to-day activities. Another way we come to value things is by
watching the actions of others, which oftentimes shows you what is significant
in your life, or how you don’t want to act or be perceived. Values are
important and usually signify how a person will respond to a situation or where
their priorities may lie.
The
only people that can ensure we are spending our time on the things we value are
ourselves. Everyone has different values, so it is ultimately up to you to
decide where and how to spend your time and if mirrors your values. I think
from situation to situation it is important to take a step back and figure out
if where you’re spending your time aligns with your values and how it does so. That
is not always an easy thing, and it is often more common that people realize
when they are spending time on things they don’t value rather than when they
are focusing on things that they do value.
My
values that I identify with are being optimistic and pointing out the good in
people. I also value commitment and determination to succeed. Lastly, I value
friendship and each of the relationships I have built with the women of my
chapter. I try to equalize my time between just relaxing and hanging out with
girls but also getting work done on time and completing it to the best of my
ability. I think there are times when I need to revise my schedule to not work
as much, but also have some fun, which is a strong value I possess. Making the
most of life is super important, and oftentimes that means blowing off some
steam and just having a good time.
