Have
you ever felt like you couldn't answer the question: "What do you
want?"? The context of the question doesn't even have to be huge…not
a life changing question like "What do you want to do with your
life?", but something as simple as "What do you want for
dinner?", "What do you want to do today?"
Prioritizing
our needs and wants is something we each have to do on a daily basis.
When we are disconnected with our core value, even the simplest questions
about our wants or needs may be difficult to answer. Our core value is
our essence. It is our birthright - it is who we are! If we aren't
connected with who we are, we are more likely to be swayed by other's
needs and wants, and ignore our own. Consistently ignoring who we are and
our most fundamental needs to stay true to who we are will lead to
resentment. Whether we realize it or not, we will begin to live with an
undercurrent of resentment that will manifest itself through all of our
life relationships.
Once
this undercurrent of resentment is there, even simple things can set you
off. You can become angry when someone leaves their shoes in the middle
of the room, or when someone cuts you off on the road. All feelings of
anger, whether they are small (like feelings of frustration or
chilliness), or large (an explosion of rage), are signs that your core
value is too low and you need to reconnect to it.
When
you reconnect to your core value, you'll find that you can appreciate and
value more. You can go through life without letting others "push
your buttons". This is how you can empower yourself to act in your
best interests and the best interests of loved ones.
