Values in life are to be respected. Everyone has values – that are instilled in them from childhood. To lead a meaningful life you should be aligned with your values.
Values in life are generally learned through experience over time. You learn from what you see. Values and principles get instilled in you when you see what is being practiced in the family. Values that one learn from others could be
- Respecting elders
- Telling truth
- Doing certain rituals in the morning
But values in life you should build up for a meaningful life?
- Make a positive impact – With our decisions and actions we leave an impact on the lives of everyone around and on the earth as well. Try making a positive impact.
- Respect yourself – while it’s important to respect elders, learn to respect yourself and your actions. Be answerable to yourself. When you start respecting yourself you realize you don’t have to depend on things like alcohol or drugs under stress
- Be transparent in works you do – when you are true to yourself and transparent about your work you have nothing to explain.
- Never stop Learning – This is the best thing you can do for yourself. There no end to learning and you can never learn enough. Be a student of life.

I live by these challenges everyday! Good to know I’m not the only simple and serene one around haha!
Our value system defines who we are. And as you rightly said, it is values that add meaning to our lives.
I agree with all four of the values you listed. If we do not have a core of beliefs, how can we do what is right to our fellow man?
Our life revolves around the values we are instilled with. I agree with all the above points where transparency is the most important to attain.
Our value system informs everything, doesn’t it? Right from the way we interact with people to the way we conduct ourselves in private. For our values are our compass, and when that is awry, everything goes haywire.

Good pointers on values, Tina. Values guide our every decision and, therefore, our destiny. Those who know their values and live by them become the leaders of our society.
