Core Values

When values that are important to you are put against each other which ones do you prioritize? The ones you prioritize are your core values.


For example:

If you have a big assignment due for your job the next day that would lead to a promotion if done well, but you have someone in your family who desperately needs you, which one would you choose? When it comes down to it either your advancement in your career or your family has to be prioritized over the other. What you choose to prioritize demonstrates your core values
