Values can be used for many things. A regular reader of this blog asked me why I focused so much attention on Values.

Values helps you know who you are,
Values helps you accept who you are,
Values helps you be who you are.

Values make me think less about the 'What do you do' question and more about the 'Why you do what you do and how I can help you be successful and meet our personal and professional goals.'

I guess I focus on it because I believe it is at the intersection of life, work, family, personal and community involvement.

From Churchcrunch, I found an amusing post that answered the question: what if God had texted the 10 commandments to Moses on the mountain. Whether you believe in the biblical account or not, there is no denying the importance of these 10 commandment in our Judeo-Christian culture.

Intellectual debate or Job-like personal circumstances can devastate believers who have never explored the wilderness beyond easy, five-step answers. Paradox beckons us into Mystery, and offers a wholesome reminder that God is infinitely greater than our ideas about God.
- Richard P. Hansen

The Bible doesn't make any rational sense...

I believe unseen things and they are more important than seen things.
I conquer by yielding.
I find rest under a yoke.
I am saved for eternity by nothing that I do and by the simplest faith.
I reign by serving.
I find riches when I am poor in spirit and when I give beyond my means.
I forgive because I am forgiven and to be forgiven.
I am made content through sufferings.
I am made great by becoming small.
I become wise by being fools for Christ's sake.
I am made free by becoming bondservants.
I honor myself by honoring God and other's first.
I love myself by loving God and other's first.
I seek first an invisible kingdom.
I am loved, and I love, by choice, not emotions.
I am exalted when I am humble.
I gain strength when I am weak.
I triumph through defeat.
I find victory by glorying in my infirmities.
I live by daily dying.
I am first by putting myself last
I am most satisfied when God is most glorified.

Real riches have nothing to do with what I own.
Real wisdom has nothing to do with what I know.
Real salvation has nothing to do with what I do.
Real freedom has nothing to do with what I choose.
Real glory has nothing to do with how others see me.
Real food has nothing to do with what I eat or drink.
Real value has nothing to do with my accomplishments.
Real beauty has nothing to do with what I see.
Real strength has nothing to do with what I can bear.
Real pleasure has nothing to do with me.
Real love has nothing to do with what I feel.
Real power has nothing to do with what I control.

And that is why I believe.
