Values
Values differ culturally, spiritually, financially, politically and personally; and the variations can be extreme. Values are prioritized in all the above listed categories and many others, by their levels of importance, usefulness and general worth.
People who collect, whether memorabilia, stamps, coins, art, books, insects, cars, music, artifacts or personal memories and family photos, all rate their collections based on value, tangible and intangible.
Active spiritual values are the heart of our existence. How we treat ourselves and others is directly related to the enduring qualities of inner peace, harmony with nature, and healthy co-existence with our species.
“Here are the values I stand for: honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values.” ~Ellen DeGeneres
“Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology, but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention.” ~Deepak Chopra
“A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.” ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
“If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values – that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.
Blessings to all for a day, a week, a lifetime full of the enduring values of love!
