4 Steps to Discovering Your Core Values 

Trustworthy, adventure, simplicity, wisdom. faithfulness. This was so helpful! Thank you!

Thanks Mckenzie for this video! I really liked the last part "What does the value mean to you?" That was very helpful. As of right now mine are: 1) Satisfaction - Doing all I can do, doing my best, surrendering to God 2) Happiness - Feeling good physically, choosing to be happy regardless of circumstances, exercising control over my attitude 3) Adventure - Seeing new things, traveling to new places, gratitude/appreciation for it all 4) Love - Seeing the best in people, making people happy/feel good about themselves, receiving the goodness of people 5) Protection - I'm able to deal with any external or internal challenge, I feel safe and secure, I'm physically/mentally/etc strong 6) Abundance - I'm grateful, I'm resourceful, I have faith the universe/God will meet my needs

Thank you Mckenzie. I will add that you must have priority among your top 10 values and by that I mean if there is a conflict between 2 values which one you will choose and make your decision in life according to. If you have your first three values as: 1- family 2- work 3- health 4- ... then you found yourself working long hours that it affected your health for example. which one will you chose? As you see there is a conflict, should you work hard or take more care of your health? as one will affect the other, one must be more important to you, then lets say you choose to take care of your health even if your work life is affected, that is your #1 priority. The first 3 values will govern 80% of your choices in life so choice them carefully as conflict will arise later. How to prioritize them? Get excel sheet and put all 10 values in columns and rows then compare one value from each row to all values in columns and ask yourself this question " is (value in row) more important than (each value in column ) ...?" create a situation or scenario in your mind that these two values conflict each other and had to choose only one of then. choose according to your true value deep inside not what you wish it to be. If your answer is yes put 1 in the intersection cell if no leave it blank and do this to all of the values in the column and remember you compare 1 value of one row to all values in columns. do not switch them, 1 row then all columns. Then prioritize them according to how many ones each value (row) have. These are your true core values then you can keep them if you are satisfied or change there priority or even add new ones that you want them to be in your values.Take all the time you need even if it take a month to do it, as it will show you your true current core values in life. Some core values prioritized [ for you to adopt if you want :) ] 01- Inner Peace 02- Awareness 03- Love and Passion 04- Health 05- Family 06- Joy 07- Freedom 08- Adventure 09- Abundance 10- Success Peace

Thank you, i realized through your video that my values have changed from my 20s to 30s to 40s. Your examples are helping me to define my new values

Thank you so much, it has been hard to find my 4 core values now that I am 67. From top to bottom: 1. Body and mental health 2. Curiosity 3. Independence 4. Challenge I find they are very similar to yours. But they are only words, it is important part 4, so I find what they mean form me. For example, body and mental health includes for me: I will make exercise, I will eat healthy food, I will include love , gratitude and happiness in everything I do, I will declutter and make everything simple, I will try to know myself and others, I will love and forgive myself and others, etc.

1. Honesty 2. Loyalty 3. Good humor 4. Courage 5. Spirit of adventure 6. Inner peace 7. Serenity 8. Respect 9. Passion

Hi McKenzie I’m experiencing some depression at the moment. I’m getting psychological treatment at the moment. I figured I needed to establish my core values to help see what I’m about, and hopefully guide me toward healing. 1) Peace 2) simplicity 3) calm 4) Acceptance 5) reliability 6) Awareness

Thank you so much for this video! I realised today that i lost the connection with my true inner self and i could not find out what my core values were. Now i worked on my list and i have 4 beautiful values that align with me perfectly. I am deeply grateful to you!

Thank you SO much for this. This was very helpful for me, you helped me gained more clarity about my core values and why it's important. Thank you!

Great. I did not fancy the video in the beginning, but as I listened more I gained respect and now I subscribed and activated notifications. I think I could immediately pick up that our personality types are not naturally harmonised, we are opposites in some respects, but I totally get what you mentioned about your type, and I value you for that, I think you are great.

Thank you for making this simple, easy and effective.. the easiest one I've found to follow and under 10 minutes. Subscribed!!!

best video ive ever watched! i think this s gonna change my life.

1. individuality 2. intelligence 3. charisma 4. curiosity 5. humor

not going to lie i really wasn’t expecting much from this video it just was shorter than most but honestly just you showing what a core value is and how to break it down i learned a lot about myself that i never realized i had mapped out. kudos to you!

Thank you for sharing this. I stumbled on it. And it's gold for me. Just what I was looking for.

Finally got a clear cut explanation of core values 🙌 😅

Thank you Mckenzie, great value, I will definitely watch the video again.

Listing a bunch of traits and virtues as core values is only moderately useful. To REALLY clarify what is important to YOU, you need to reflect on what specifically gets you emotional. What you have done that never felt like work. What comes effortlessly to you. What inspires you. What pieces of music or other experience make you cry tears of joy. AND you must be as specific as you can be. Journaling can be incredibly helpful with this.

1. Family 2. Balance 3. Creativity 4. Kindness 5. Gratitude 6. Abundance

THIS WAS HELPFUL.😊

Very helpful

Thanks for the great video! My questions are: 1. I can't get the list below 10, but it seems too many, is there any ideal number? 2. One day I feel ths is the top, nex day that priority, but cannot fix prio, is that normal? How to fix priority? 3. A few depends on the other or next values, is this case are they just one Ie Honesty and Accountability, what I think = what I say = what I do, hard to differentiate. Same with Brave and Confidence, confidence is a byproduct when I'm brave, direct cosequence. In these cases, are they 2 or just 1 value? I call 2 value metavalues, referring to other values like Freedom because without them, the rest don't make any sense. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance

Very helpful thanks

Thanks

I love this video. I was writing and When you said “come on” I looked back at the video and started to giggle

I Live this it Really Helped me, I was feeling nervousness about figuring out what core values were thank you.

thanks Mckenzie

If you have a value that most likely stemmed from an abusive childhood, is it still considered "core"?

wow sooo useful thanks a lot new subscriber and I do the list, and got six values;- Honour, I noticed that I have an excessive jealousy problem because of this the win, I am so afraid of losing Accuracy, and because of that I am a very skeptical person and this I like Independence, I don't trust the effort of anyone but myself Progress, I'm the type who regrets a lot if I make a mistake, so I evolve and change Peace, I never want to be annoying to someone

My core values were Health Wealth Creativity Variety Spirituality and Athletic

Why Only 5 or 6 when you have allot more 🤔 Why not 40 to 50..? That will be very versatile and diverse. Tell your opinion about that.

Did anyone notice how she DIDN'T require you to give us your personal top 5.....;-)

Thank you! ^^

If you value simplicity, would this video not be minimal and straightforward? I am not being rude, but ask this, as to whether you are being honest with your own values.

Many of our core values are actually unconscious and here comes Astrology as a great tool of support, because it shows what our core values are and when we sit with it and live accordingly to them we just build self-love rapidly. I made a video on how to define core values through a natal chart: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u9ErxEnQ_1E.html

Nothing speaks to me. All values seem to be equal.

Responsibility, Respect, Honesty BUT NOT inspirational, Curiosity or simplicista

But I actually got a pen and paper

Some are not VALUES.

it's not simplicity it's taking own time undistracted

Plz make more video very helpful

try to use via character test

Life long learner (education/learning), raw connection, service to others, new experiences, gratitude

To me, Core values are what you actually do day to day that you don’t need pushing to do. Ie if you love to play music, sport or operate your business set your life around that. That’s what your life demonstrates. These re just things in my opinion and to set a goal to achieve simplicity as life is both simple and complicated at all times will ultimately be self defeating. as life has an inherent balance of both. Go do what you love is true value honouring.

Good stuff
