Relationship Problems: What Matters Most How to Define Your Core Values

Have you ever heard of Lane Keep Assist? I hadn’t either until the other day when I was at the car lot and the salesman kept blabbering about how this car had “LKA”. So of course I’m like “What the heck is LKA?” He must have thought I just fell out of a turnip truck, he looked at me like I was an alien and said “Lane Keep Assist”. In his head he added “fool!” LKA is a technology that monitors the lane you are in while driving and tries to keep you in that lane.

If you move to another lane without indicating it, it will warn you. Otherwise, it just holds the lane for you. I began to think of this in terms of life. What are the things that keep you out of relationship problems? What is it in your life that keeps you on the right track and warns you when you are moving into an area you shouldn’t be in? I think those are their core values. I would like to discuss with you now what core values ​​are all about. Core values ​​are the things in your life that are so fundamental to your character that you would be willing to lose everything for them.

There are many things in our lives that are important to us, but those are not always our core values. Each person will have different core values. Core values ​​are the things that keep you on track when you start drifting into the wrong lane, they are your LKA. Here are some examples of my students’ core values ​​(you’ll have 5-10 that are uniquely yours): Remain faithful to my wife and family Provide a safe place for my children to grow up Develop a strong relationship with God Always put people (relationships) over possessions Try to avoid killing my in-laws As you can see, sometimes core values ​​are from a negative point of view.

Sit down this weekend and write a list of the things in your life that are truly worth dying for. These are your core values. Think about these things as you go through the day and it becomes an amazing guidance system for the decisions you make along the way. It’s hard to move into oncoming traffic when you have an alarm (your core values) reminding you to stay alert and attend to the things that matter most.
