Values are laws of existence. they were created by the universe (GOD) to protect us from failure, hatred, and the mishaps in life, they are laws similar to physical laws such as gravity, they never fail because they are eternal or in other words ceaseless. once one has conceded to his or her innermost self that you practice a value it sticks to you eternally. keep in mind that one will never learn if a person remains narrow in his thoughts. this book is not written to force the belief that God exists but it does condone the idea that everything has a creator. this book is not religious.it is written to create self awareness in the people that never took an inventory of they're qualities (values).
Self awareness is an immense value only he who knows his values can progress them. values aren't easy to Aquire it takes lots of discipline to practice a value consistently, awareness of the values that are laid at your feet is vital. There are an unlimited amount of tools (values) available for an individual to practice. Each one having it's perks and advantages.
We were created to have value in ourselves and be useful to others or useful to each other. That's why we share an existence on this planet, to exchange values and help each other grow psychologically or (spiritually). humility is the foundation of knowledge, and knowledge can help one gain wisdom only if the knowledge is applied. wisdom comes from experience of the practice of principles provided by the values you have.
in conclusion it is important for us to reflect and make a list of values we may or may not have. and if your heart is in the right place they will subconsciously stick to you like an instinct. It will become a natural reflex and improve your decision making. self help books will become a thing of the past.
