My Core Values and Beliefs

My Core Values and Beliefs

Written by: Felicia Jones



Weather we have been taught learned through experiences or influences to have certain beliefs and values we all have some. I thinking have values and beliefs are very crucial to how one lives their life and treat others. For example, if you’re taught to value money more than anything then you would do anything for money even if came to disrespect yourself and others. So values and beliefs are the core structure to a person’s priorities in life, thinking process and more.

I believe that you should treat others how you would want to treat (this also known as “the golden rule”). I believe in karma which means what goes around comes around. Therefore if you don’t want to be lied to, stolen from, insulted, etc, then you should not do it to others. No one wants something bad to happen to themselves, so they should not do it to others. I value this belief because it very crucial to how you live your life and treat others. This is a leading belief because most belief can fall under this principle. For example suppose you’re single and met someone who was married and wanted to have relationship with you despite that fact they are married. Now suppose you’re the other spouse would you want someone to cheat on you? Another example you work for a company and you deceived to abuse your advantages and steal from the company. Now on the other hand suppose you’re the owner of the company would you want your employees doing that unto you? This principle can be applying view into some many ways. Just as it can be looked at what not to do, it should be look at what can you do. Suppose you lost your job and house you would want someone to give out a helping hand so think about that next time you walk pass a homeless person.

Forgiving others and thyself is important to progression. People will make mistakes. If you made a mistake you would want that person to forgive you, so you need to forgive others. In order to be at peace and help keep a sane mind. For each experience is about learning and growing .In order to such you forgiving play a major part in the process for self development. I value this belief because; it is more helpful for self development and growth. It is not easy but, is necessary to move on and remain optimistic despite the experiences. If you’re new at a job and you are an Accountant .Suppose you screw up on some of the accounts, you would hope the boss gives you another opportunity to better yourself at that company. Not saying there should not be consequences but, there should be forgiveness. If the boss didn’t forgive his accountant he would become fearful of hiring another quick to fire someone even if it was an honest mistake. Another personal example would be getting hurt in a relationship. If you don’t forgive those people that affect your next relationship prevent you from having another because you know fearful of that happening again also bitter towards the past. If you never forgive you become fearful and bitter and miss out on lots of opportunities and progressing in life.

There is always room for improving. Try to fix your own weakness. Life experiences should be learning experience each day you should be developing and improving self. Through this you would lead by example and understand we not perfect but good to strive to become close to perfection as possible. Become the best you can be. You’re not living unless you’re striving. I believe that you can’t change the world until you change yourself first. People usually tend to focus on what is wrong with someone else rather than looking in the mirror to see what wrong with ourselves. In order to do this you have to be humble and know that you are not perfect but, have the desire to aim to try. If you aim to be better in your career, life you strive to improve and do all you can to accomplish that goal. People with this belief tend to evaluates their self to try to improve.If you work at it you will achieve it, so this would be very good value to have when looking for employees as an employer. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in ALL of us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates other” (Mariana Wilson)."Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do. This Barack Obama).



Having a kind heart, being giving and helpful to others. I believe you do good things unto others, and then goods things will come in return. Most important have the desire to help others. We are cable of influencing others; we all have even if we didn’t realize it. Therefore, we all have been impacted by others weather it good or bad. I believe we should try to help people that surround us. I believe if we where to do this the world would be a better place each one reach one .The everyman for himself is selfish act. The world can’t truly progress to its full potential, unless we work on ourselves and also help someone else at end we all needed or need helping hand.

If you feed your thoughts it becomes a reality. I believe a thought is the first stage to creating reality .First you think of something ,then you imagine it (vision).Next your feelings get attached to thought weather its worrying or excited. Then based on that thought you act on it and turns into a reality or you just attract that event or item to you because you thought about it and desired it .If you change your thinking process, you can change your perceptions of situations and attracted better things for yourself(The Secret -Rhonda Byrne).This value, I apply to everyday life it helps me to optimistic with my thoughts and know that everything happens for a reason and try to find the positive in a negative situation by learning from it.

Another belief and value that influence my way of living and thinking I believe this statement is the truth,” Those who stand for nothing fall for anything"(Alexander Hamilton).I stand by this statement because if a person didn’t have any values or belief to their own they are usually easy influence which can be a bad thing. They fall victim of being criminal, hurting others, selfish, influence by the media or crazy movies, etc... People who have no values and belief will allow the surrounding people; environment or situations influence their belief. For example if you are a child that grew up with no parents and in ghetto, if this child has no values or belief it will allow the situation there in to influence their actions or way of treating themselves and others. When you believe in something nothing should change that belief, this comes with not allowing your emotions get best of you when upset or not giving up because of a situation. If you where a employer and you wanted to have a company, but never took the time out to state your core believes values and standard for that company your employees will take advantage of that and become the boss of your company.Dont allow the world steal your hope, dreams and joy because if you honestly believe it exist then it does you should stand by this regardless of the situation.

Things that I believe that I can change to better practice my core beliefs is perfecting myself. Try to better myself and my life. One thing that can help me remain in tune with my spirituality and values is controlling my emotions not allowing it to take over me especially when it negative emotion or thought. I believe what is in our mind is how we react to situations and how we process the world “influences”. I apply all my values and belief to any situation and I honestly believe that if I apply them to all situations even professional setting I am doing good and my best in life. As long as I am living I will be working on improving and mastering my belief and try to live by example. At the end of the day we all are influence impact this world. I feel like to many people in this world has lost the most important belief which putting love first before anything else ,love is not materials things but having love for thyself and each others around us. This value is heard of but people misunderstood it starting loving material things more than themselves or more then another person. People are so distracted with many influences and distractions and forget this value because I believe it was instill in us but many tend to forget or let this belief be influences by the world and values started to change. When this happen is when we start to put money before our so called values and belief start to change or fade. When you stop believing and striving is when there’s a problem, that is the day when you gave up on truly living. Living is striving to blossom .If you don’t want to blossom then why should you exist (me)?
