Be Congruent with Your Values

Your beliefs and values determine how you perceive your environment - yourself, your immediate family, but also your circle of friends, your colleagues... They are the filter, through which you make sense of everything that happens to you in your life. The beliefs pyramid illustrates the relationship very clearly:

It is not the events in life that shape you, but your belief about what those events mean. And even more importantly, if what you do in your life - hour by hour, day by day, is not in harmony with your highest values, you live in a conflict with yourself, and start sabotaging your goals, and the results you claim you aspire to.

SO, what are the steps to achieve congruency:
1. Elicit your highest values
2. Audit your current behaviour against your true, genuine values and beliefs
3. Take the necessary massive action and make changes to align what you do with your true self.

Only when you raise your own standards and make no compromise when achieving your goals and aspirations, can you get the results you want and deserve.
