The difference between Goals & Values.
I want to make a quick point about something I have just recently learned.
Goals help us determine our destination.
Systems help us reach our goals by charting a path towards them and giving us processes to follow.
Values help us determine what to say "Yes" or "No" to on a micro-scale, day-to-day, to determine what the most efficient way to reach our goals is.
What serves the greater purpose and what hinders the process?
I believe many of us are too focused on our Goals, without having the proper framework in life to operate from - A sound Value System. Our behaviour is dictated by the Values we set out for ourselves. If you haven't set up a Value System consciously, it's likely you have had one imposed upon you by those who surround you; Parental figures or your immediate society or culture.
Ask yourself: Do you want to use somebody else’s Value System to orient your life?
P.S….
This is a new Newsletter that will be released to your inbox every week. If you don't remember signing up for this, it's probably because I haven't sent one out for a while but you probably follow the Jordan Peterson Archive Instagram or Facebook page. That's ok if you don't remember, you can unsubscribe! However, it would mean a lot to me if you just gave me a chance to change your mind over the next month or so...
To those who have just recently subscribed, hello and welcome!
If you like any part of this short newsletter, I’d love it if you would screenshot the part you liked and share it on your Instagram story, as well tagging me on Instagram - @LewyConvery or @JordanPetersonArchive.
