What Do We Value?

Posted on by

0

What do we value? On Saturday November 5, 2016 I attended Ayana Iman’s, #AuthenticConvos event at Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ. While I was there, I revisited some of my thoughts from earlier that day inspired by Joel Brown‘s #Addicted2Success podcast interview with Dr. John Demartini:

In this interview, Dr. Demartini mentioned the importance of values and how they predict the trajectory of where we go in life. In turn, this made me ask the following questions:

1. What do we value?

2. What do we give the most energy to?

3. Who do we give the most energy to?

4. Where do we spend the most time?

5. Who do we spend the most time with?

6. What do we spend the most time doing?

7. Who do we associate with?

8. Where do we want to see ourselves in life?

Ultimately, all of these questions allow us to reflect upon our true values. Now, let’s ask ourselves…”What do we really value?”

Living Brave: Brené Brown and Oprah

Brené Brown catches up with Oprah to discuss living life with bravery, courage, and truth in this episode of Living Brave. In this video, Oprah discusses the clarity of intention and how it helps us to live a more fearless life. She also makes time to discuss what it takes to lead a brave life while “disappointing” others and creating a kitchen cabinet of resourceful people who can serve as our truth-tellers.

In particular, Oprah mentions:

“We cannot live a brave life without disappointing some people. However, the people who are rooting for our rise will not be disappointed. The only people who are disappointed are the ones who have their own agenda.”

This very statement closely resonates with one of our posts from back in May of 2015 entitled, Trust Yourself…Do What Matters! Lastly, Brené Brown leaves us with a few wise words of her own, “If you’re brave enough often enough, you will fall.” Let’s learn to embrace our falls and move on with more courage, love, and mindfulness especially as we head into a new year. Happy 2016!!!

Tori Kelly – Talk

When I first listened to Tori Kelly’s, Unbreakable Smile album on Spotify last month “Talk” was definitely the standout record that caught my attention. To be very specific, I fell in complete love with the bridge at 2:10 and 3:10…OMG…the instrumentation is so lush and beautiful! I must have played this song back to back to back about 20 times. We hope you do too! Shout out to Malay (@MalayHo) on the production.

Also, here’s a glimpse at her live rendition of Talk which is also just as good!
