Whatever we do in life produces outcomes. To judge our lives we need to judge our outcomes.
Outcomes are judged based on our values.
I value peacefulness therefore I value sitting on the deck watching my lake (stormwater pond).
If we don’t know what we value we cannot determine how good or how poor our lives are.
Create the outcome and then determine what you value about the outcome. The more you can have what you value about an outcome match with what you value the better your life.
For many people, they don’t know what they value so they are just going through life blind. Your values give you the sight to see your purpose and vision.
