Our personal values are in a way a litmus test for when we are trying to figure out what does or does not sit right with us. Value alignment helps us be motivated towards and away from specific situation, people, or opportunities. This information is important as it helps us curate a life that serves us, one that is congruent with our own passions and needs. Finding your top 5 values is not a process of just choosing, we need to translate and understand the abstract concept so we can articulate it in a concrete way. Simply, we find the personal connection, the why and how they serve us.
