Be as honest with yourself as you can, and try to answer this...?

Question

The things that you value most in life define who you are. Which of these do you think are the most important things to you? Think of what you desire most, and what ignites passion in you, rather than what you need to be "healthy" or to survive.

career
providing for family and home
money
sex, or other pleasures
romance
fun/excitement
security/stability
Positive impact on others' lives
Following a religious or righteous path
Being loved by others
sharing love
Power
Being idolized or adored by everyone

Answer 1

family and home
positive impact on others lives
sharing love
sex (but not drugs and rock and roll)
security stability
money would be nice

This is my answer now. It would be completely different if you had asked ten years ago, and will be very different in ten years

Answer 2

Perhaps the things you value, define you, but you have to keep in mind that values change as people change. Your values will only define you as you are right now, not as you are forever. Are you implying that a person cannot truly desire to be healthy? or be passionate about being healthy? The key to this is after this exercise, if you realize you are perhaps too concerned with the wrong things, to start building a foundation of principles by which you wish to live. This is to be as your center, a home base that will shape and define everything you do regardless of external circumstances. The best way to do this is to use truly self evident principles such as honesty, integrity, fairness, etc.. In summary you have to have a changeless core of principles rather than fluid set of values that varies to fulfill a temporary urge.

Answer 3

For me, i would naturally choose power and idolization. To be loved by others, money, career, and fun.

But now, the Lord has changed me. And I know He wants me to spend my life to serve, not to be served. So now, I prioritize my family and friends, to have a positive impact, and to follow the Lord. I don't crave to be idolized anymore. When I have the Lord, I have joy which is much more than fun. I also have a sure future, not only security for now.

Answer 4

all the above! but if i had to pick one, money is the best just like rock beats scissors. with money you need no career, with money you can provide for your family, you can buy excitement and fun, nothing is free, and the security system that provides security, it costs money, stability comes with money, you can also have a positive impact on other's lives by putting them through college which costs money, you can donate to a religious group which provides a positive impact on the community, power comes with money, like the golden rule, he who has the gold makes the rule, haha, and money does buy everything. money is value and a highly valuable person is not a wrong thing.
money just wins, im happy for those who have it, and hope those who need more get more.
=)

Answer 5

Those righteous religious people make me sick but spirituality is extremely important to me. Important enough that I've burnt my clothes and danced naked IN a bonfire in search of deeper understanding. My family is also very important.

Answer 6

I get real enjoyment out of helping people, not sure if this would be sharing love or positive impact on other peoples lives.

Answer 7

sex, or other pleasures
romance
fun/excitement
security/stability
following a righteous path
power

Answer 8

way I see it, when you share love, especially AGAPPE LOVE, you tend to get most all of the other things in due time.

My answer, Share Love.

Answer 9

sharing love is the best-sex is second

Answer 10

Romance.

Without the hope of it, we are lost.
