The Rocco Effect - Values

I have learned that as long as I hold fast to my beliefs and values, and follow my own moral compass, then the only expectations I need to live up to are my own.- Michelle Obama

Your values are the things you deem important. Knowing what's important to you, helps you control your emotions better. Negative feelings are common when we don't live by our values. We also feel negative when we see the opposite of our values manifest in the world, but we must remember they are out of our control. Should we see them we can change how we think about them or we can act to create a better world. The opposite is also true, when we live by our values or see them manifested in the world we will feel great. One of the quickest ways to happiness is by living by our values or by seeking them out in the world.

To everyone else you are not what you think, you are what you do. Act out your values and aim for your values to be what others think of when they think of you.
