Decisions are so much easier when you are clear about your values.  Your values provide a guidepost that your meaningful life decisions can be compared against and evaluated.  They provide a set of criteria from which the actions of your life can be assessed to aid in living consciously and aligned with your most important standards.  Without principles by which decisions are made we are left to the whims and impulses at the time and risk living contrary to our most important requirements.   And with the strong knowledge of our values and by making quality decisions aligned with those values, we can avoid the cognitive dissonance and angst that bothers so many people when they don't.

It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are. Roy Disney

Never compromise your values. Steve Maraboli

Open your arms to change but don’t let go of your values. Dalai Lama

Living with integrity means behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Barbara De Angelis
