Knowing your values is a big deal. Whether in a business setting or just in your personal life, a lack of understanding regarding what matters to you can lead to confusion, frustration, and a general feeling of disconnect.

How can you know what your values are? Try these tips:

Daydream. Carve out some time where you can dream about the future and what you want. Then write those things down. Your ideals reflect your values.

Embrace Uniqueness. Don’t copy someone else’s values — not your family’s, friends’, or society’s. Trying to live someone else’s values is like trying to inhabit someone else’s dreams. It just doesn’t happen. Be willing to stand on your own two feet and embrace what YOU value.

 Be Genuine. Focus your efforts on things that are connected to your core values. Only choose the things you genuinely care about.
