Key Points

We are often blind to these invisible lines running throughout our lives.

  • Reflecting on the role models others have admired in their lives can provide insight on what they value.
  • Fictional characters, colors, animals, tress, and even countries can also provide insight into values.
  • Wisdom from Peter Drucker: “Tell me what you value, and I might believe you. But show me the twists and turns of your life and I’ll show you what you really value.”
