I believe that this survey mirrored my top values exactly. My top goal in life is to have a sense of accomplishing something worthwhile. I need to feel like I'm not just simply wasting my time on this Earth. There needs to be a point to everything, there needs to be some consolation for all the suffering that I've been through.
I'm fiercely competitive and sometimes get into trouble, but I always have an urge to try new things and push new boundaries. While the rest of my family wants security, I love to take risks. Sometimes I let their values seep in and affect me to the point where I start to question myself. In that aspect, I really admire those who are courageous and are able to express themselves freely. In my quest to be one of those people, I sometimes get a bit reckless, but all with the best intentions.
In the midst of all this, is a person and I know that I couldn't bear it if others did not take me seriously or felt that they couldn't confide in me. I despise liars and rank honesty as one of the best virtues because it is one of the hardest to obtain. Lying only hurts others and causes trouble.
I've never been a truly spiritual person, in the common sense at least. I do not pray regularly, and I do not know much of my Hindu religion. However, I believe in it wholeheartedly. I feel horrible sometimes for only praying to God whenever I really need Him, but I think He understands. All I really want is a meaningful connection to Him. Everyone needs some guidance and comfort sometimes.
All in all, values are a huge part of who you are. They determine much of your personality and your way of living. So, what are some of your values?
