We seldom talk about our values. We all have values but when we talk about our values we tend to get confused and mix up our values with our beliefs. Here is the important distinction between the two in my opinion.
- Our values are created from the ideals we try to live by
- Our beliefs create the reality in which we live.
Many of our values have their roots in our religious backgrounds but our beliefs seem to be a learned response to our life's successes and failures.
Our values determine who we are. This is what we call "being."
Our beliefs determine our actions. This is what we call "doing."
