Aren't values something all humans struggle with, no matter how well meaning? It's hard to hold fast to what we value, because so often we become a bit delusional (yes, delusional) about our accomplishments and successes. In my opinion, our values become skewed because we fail to dampen down those moments of pridefulness that creep into our everyday life, almost in a form of idolatry. Wow. Where'd all that come from? Obviously this is something I need to assess in my own life. Thanks for your thoughts. I'll look forward to reading more....

Unfortunately, most of us do not recognize this. We go around stating our values and our goals, when these really are just our aspirations and dreams, which many of us are not willing to commit to to make them our values and goals/accomplishments. Once we recognize what you just stated, I believe we can begin to really appply ourselves to making them our values and goals. Justin,
