How do you actually hold on to your values when everything around you keeps pushing and pulling you in different directions?
it’s real. It’s messy. And yeah, we all struggle with it—even if no one’s saying it out loud.
First Off what are Values: Honestly? I think of values as What you quietly believe in when nobody's watching. Like the invisible rules you try to live by. Stuff like kindness, honesty, hard work, family, fairness, creativity… whatever makes you feel grounded. Your values are kind of like your inner compass. They don’t make every decision for you, but they nudge you in the right direction when things Go sideways.
The problem isn’t having them – you already do! The problem is the world constantly trying to nudge that compass needle off true north. The world is loud. Social media, the news, your job, your friends, your family, even strangers on the internet—everyone’s got opinions. Everyone’s got a way they think you should live. And they’re not shy about it.
Please tell me where you are copying this from.
You want to hear from me? Ok, here goes.
When threads are pulled from stitching the unravelling of what once was not unravelled causes the shark of the sky to shift from motionless movement to a rapid and perpetual state of activity in perfect stillness that fills the cup of circular directness that flows in a straight line that curves away and forces its way through the deep mountainous chasm of terrible forthrightness. When the thread falls, the plane of existence is similar to the unnatural naturalness of nationality that sits beneath the lowest high of disarming sandy softness. It is, ergo, a situation commensurate to the sameness that exists in the polar opposites of our similar and aligned total differences that cause the chicken to scratch at the hard ground of soft earth and flowing water.
I like the statement you made that values can be likened to inner compass. That's true. As long as you have values, they will always move you into doing the right thing at the right time
On point. Keep up the vibes
Nice write up sir, your post are always educative and real too
