Or, are your decisions usually influenced by others?
I understand that most of our decisions affect those who are close to us and it is desirable to seek consensus, if possible. It is vital, however, that you don’t betray your values in order to please others.
As an example, if you are asked if you agree with something just said, do you say “yes” even when you really disagree?
Do you live by an internal list of do’s and don’ts? If not, I think it would be helpful if you did. At the end of the day, you have to be able to like yourself. By living with you own list of values you keep your life on an even keel.
Today’s is not a peaceful world. Living by a value system brings you peace.
If not today, when?
