Unlock Joy by Knowing Your Values
“When you are very clear on what your values are, that can keep you moving forward,” advises Andrea Hecht as she delves into the impact of aligning personal values with life’s pursuits. Andrea likens personal values to fuel for a journey—essential for smooth and directed travel. She discusses how values are influenced by factors like family, religion, and community, and how they evolve over time. Andrea notes that feelings of fulfillment and peace often indicate that one’s values are being respected, while dissatisfaction or confusion can suggest neglected values.
Andrea encourages listeners to reflect deeply on what matters most to them through questions from her Roadmap Back to Joy Value Exploration Booklet, examining how their possessions and relationships reflect their values, and whether their actions align with their beliefs. She urges revisiting these questions regularly to maintain alignment with evolving values. Her message is clear: understanding and aligning with one’s values is key to pursuing passions and leading a fulfilling life. Grab your copy of the booklet here.
Quotes
“When you are very clear on what your values are, that can keep you moving forward.” (06:44 | Andrea Hecht)
“I like to use that analogy with a car that if you’re driving around and your tires feel a little bumpy, the ride feels a little bit bumpy, it’s probably because one of your values is not being honored. So really the values are the fuel that keeps us moving forward towards our desired direction. And then that helps us move forward. It keeps us on our path and keeps us pursuing our passions. So your values really end up developing as a product of your life experiences.” (06:53 | Andrea Hecht)
“When it comes to honoring your values, you wanna identify the actions and behaviors that align with your values and how you incorporate them into your life. So what do you currently do in your life that allows you to honor these values? And what aren’t you doing? That is very important too as you continue to think about what your passions are, what your purpose in life is, what your why is.” (14:21 | Andrea Hecht)
