Here are the values I hold dear to my heart. If you wish to figure out your own values you can check out my post on How To Discover Your Values.
I have them written out in two different ways. The first illustrates the core value and all the sub-values I put in the same general category. Then I have my values detailed into actionable values; my way of making the values more meaningful.
