The Importance of Your Values

Good Morning People!!

Toraze sat at the lunchroom table, listening as two of his junior high school friends discussed how they were going to end the school year by slamming rotten eggs all throughout the school on the last day. The plan was strategic, organized, and well thought out. The only issue was that Toraze did not agree. He knew what this act would do to the school’s environment, and he also understood that it would not only disrupt the staff but also his fellow students. He had been an excellent student all year, and if they got caught, his efforts would go to waste. Because of his values, Toraze decided not to go along with their plan. Luckily, he didn’t—because on the last day of school, his two friends ended up getting caught, ruining their summer fun and starting the next school year in detention.

Happy Hump Day Wednesday, my Weekday Warriors! Time to celebrate the awesome halfway point of the week and keep that momentum moving forward! Your KC metro area weather starts the day cool and cloudy, with temps beginning in the low-40s and climbing to a high near 50 degrees today. Your final topic for the week is “The Importance of Your Values.” still.

Your values are the compass that guides your decisions, shapes your character, and determines the direction of your life. When you stay true to them, you create a foundation that can’t be shaken by pressure or emotions. They define who you are when no one’s watching and influence how you treat others when everyone’s watching.

So listen up, people—if your actions don’t align with your values, you’ll always feel off balance. Make choices that reflect your truth, not someone else’s expectations. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions.”

So the next time someone questions your path, remember: your values speak louder than words.
