Vision, Values & Self-Image

Developing strong vision and values is fundamental to maintaining objectivity and sharp critical thinking skills because they form the foundation of your self-image and intellectual courage. Great thinkers have confidence because they know what they stand for and are motivated by their strong sense of purpose. What values are important to you as an individual? Are there universal values that we should all hold? How can we reflect upon and question our own values to achieve personal growth? How can we discuss our views respectfully with those who hold different values?

But instead of helping, this advice only leads to further questions - how could you have failed to be yourself, and why does everyone else seem so confident about it? Does society really place a high value on being yourself, or do we pay lip service to authenticity while we value more obvious qualities like humor, charm and beauty? How can you continue to be yourself, while you work on improving yourself? How can we find ourselves, and be ourselves to achieve joy and fulfillment?
