"Values are your heart’s deepest desires for how you want to behave; the qualities you want to bring to your ongoing behaviour. They are not about what you want to get, have, achieve or complete. They describe how you want to behave right now, and on an ongoing basis; how you want to treat anyone or anything you interact with (including yourself); the qualities you want to embody in your own actions (and often want to encourage in others)." - Russ Harris

Have you ever thought about what you want your life to look like? What kind of person you'd like to be? What you value?

Are you living life by your values? Ask yourself. If the answer is sometimes, then let's talk so that you can work towards living your best life.
