Hi Jenny, let me answer your question. Your values are always for you. They ar YOUR values.
However, if they included only you and your personal interests, they’ll make you into a selfish, self – centered, unfeeling and uncaring person hard to interact with. And then instead of empowering others, you will be hurting others and not even be aware of it. This is not desirable. It may bring you financial success, but it will destroy any and all relationships with others. In other words, you will become and Ad machine with only VL 5 self directed behaviors.
On the other hand, if your values reflect only care for others leaving you and your interests out, you will be a sacrificed person who will always lack the resources necessary to actually do what you feel is actually good for others as well. It will lead. To frustration, judgmental ism, righteousness (manifested negatively) and envy.
So it has to be a mixture of VL5 and VL5 and if possible 7. In an ideal world we would leave out the VL5 and operate only from 7 and maybe even 8… Alas, this is not an ideal world for the moment, so watching out for making money and being prosperous is good, and a olutely necessary for developing a business that’s successful, but doing it alone -as a loner – and being at it alone it is difficult if not impossible. Again in our environment we need others to rely upon.
So relationships based on truth and no pretense with likeminded people are important. This is one of the main reasons why I developed the forum. To create a platform where likeminded people from all over the world can interact in a supportive way in relationship to each other, sharing and at the same time learning room others, for personal and mutual benefit.
To conclude, in your values always include (in the IR of the values) empowering and working for others while at the same time you fulfill your needs and work for yourself. This is why for us “transforming the planet” is such a great value. It gives us the greater purpose for why we do what we do, beyond our personal interests.
It comes a time in every person’s life where working only for your benefit and your interests must be transcended if you were to ever grow beyond VL5, not to speak about growing your consciousness. There is always something bigger as a purpose of life than just you and that something includes others. At the same time this should not exclude you. So it’s that paradoxical thinking of VL7 which creates the best results. I hope this helps.
