My core values consist of autonomy, equality, and rationality. When compared to my top five values from the Clarifying your Values exercise, I felt they aligned fairly well.…
My Core Values are: Autonomy, Equality, Rationality and Sensibility. I value autonomy and equality equally and I value rationality and sensibility equally.…
Another core value to me is loyalty. When I read something about war, I’m often moved by the soldiers’ loyalty to their nations. I think a person should be loyal to his/her nation, party, or group. Loyalty is the base for people who live in a community. If a person often betrays his group, he cannot be believed by others. Nobody tells him the truths. Nobody wants to work with him. Then he cannot live in the group.…
I believe in conducting myself with integrity. It is imperative that I exercise good judgment in all my endeavors whether it is personal or professional. It has been said that you are only as good as your word. This is a mantra that I live by. I am also a firm believer in honesty. With integrity comes honesty.…

The U.S. is very different from other countries when it comes to our society and our ideas about how our government should work to serve us. Even though citizens may have different views on what the government should do in certain situations, we all share the same core beliefs. These core beliefs explain how we should be involved in government and what the government should do for its citizens. Our society as a whole has been founded on the belief that the government should protect rights to freedom of speech, to practice our religious beliefs if we have them, and overall to live the life we choose. The U.S. Constitution was created and amended based on these ideals which set up individualism in this country.…
In addition, my core life values are the foundation of my mission statement, which allows me to uphold my promises and standards. These promises and standards will afford me the opportunity to improve the life of others and myself for the better. Therefore, there are four particular core values that I live by each and everyday. The four values are: commitment, compassion, dedication, and optimism. The first core value,…
My two core values are Family and Faith. My top priorities in life are God and my family. It wasn't hard for me to choose my top two core values because I know that with God and my family I am able to achieve the other things. My family were the first people to provide me with love, happiness, friendship, and wisdom. They have been here for me every step of the way and as I am getting older, everything I strive to be and to do is ultimately to help them and make them proud. Faith is very important to me and that is something that my family has taught and instilled in me. Everything I do is for the approval of God. I have learned that hat God has for me is for me. Therefore, I am able to achieve success, peace, status, and wealth if that is…
In order to live day by day, I simply follow five core values that make me the person I am today. The five core values that I live by are: family, education, honesty, responsibility, and open-minded. Core values are important to live by because they are what makes a person and it is important to see someone’s characteristics of what they value. According to dictionary.com, the definition of value is “the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something” (dictionary.com, 2016). Like the definition states, values are something of importance and each individual cherishes different values, which they find important and what fits their lives in the best way. My family are the one’s who…
Core beliefs are established at a very early age which explains why they are so difficult to modify, alter, or even outright change. People basically grow up thinking a certain way and simply accept their beliefs as fact. Core beliefs are the assumptions (right or wrong) that we make about ourselves, others, and the world (Beck & Beck, 1996). If a non-believing (i.e., of Christ) client presents with resistance toward Christianity or Christian ethics and absolute moral values, then you may be dealing with some type of negative core belief that runs contrary to the Good News. Take for instance the negative core beliefs “I am unlovable” and “I am not good enough”. If your client has believed these to be facts for his entire life, then somehow…
The five core beliefs I have gained about school leadership are Integrity, Student-Focused Vision and Mission, Climate and Culture for staff and students, Analyze Data for Curriculum, and Hire Highly Qualified Staff. Integrity I must be trust worthy working for the educability of all. I must be willing to examine continuously my own assumptions, beliefs, and practices doing the work required for high levels of personal and organization performance. I will demonstrate my integrity to the staff and students by doing the following. Keep the employees up-to-date on the status of the school with clear and frequent communication at staff meetings, face-to-face meetings emails phone calls.…
The core values are something you not only take with you through the class, but through life. When I go out into the community, even though I might not be thinking of them, I still have them with me. I could be at the mall and see somebody shoplifting, in the back of my mind I’m thinking to myself to let it go and mind my business. But I know the right thing to do, is to tell someone, because if I don’t, I feel guilty. Even if I’m not in the classroom, I know that I still have to do the right thing.…
Because I believe the foundation of living is to serve others with the tools God has provided, I use the Bible as a guiding resource, which both she and her siblings were taught as children from the environment in which she was raised to think and to act. It is not until we are adults that we have a sense of individualism. One must define his/her own beliefs and values in life. We are unique just as God created us. One does not have to define who he/she is with scriptures in order to best understand his/her personal and professional beliefs. Our lives are influenced within our environments; our values and beliefs are a continuous growth. God provides individuals with the resources and the tools in life to strengthen our beliefs and validate our values.…
Grounded in one’s core beliefs’ is the assumptions that guide their thought process (Walsh, 2013). People's assumptions are the second major concept within CBT, and this includes how a person perceives themselves and how they view others (Gladstone, 2017). In the case study, Asif has constructed a false misconception of himself that has been reinforced by his tendency to think negatively about the past and current life events (Walsh, 2013). This point confirms that there is a connection between one’s schemas and the assumptions they make. One of Asif's assumptions is based on the belief that no girls would like him because he is a "nice guy." He expressed that he witnessed girls who only friend guys that behave as "jerks" as boyfriend material.…
We each steer our lives around a set of beliefs we have on ourselves, on others and on the world around us. These beliefs shape our decisions, thoughts and ultimately our actions then as a result whether we know it or not. It is beliefs that also shape us into the individuals we are and it is these very beliefs that limit or allow us to change and grow in our lives as well. We all have them, we all have a unique set of beliefs even if many overlap, and we often don’t examine our beliefs enough to truly understand ourselves. Personal development is highly related to these beliefs and without taking time to understand them, we can never achieve the maximum personal growth we desire. So, in this article we will explore our belief structures as they are in intermingled critical point…
