Values Essay

There are a lot of values that are important to me, such as loyalty, honesty, kindness, and integrity. But I feel like overall the most important value to me is self improvement, and I believe everyone should make this value the top priority in their lives because working on yourself and improving yourself will completely change who you are for the better for the rest of your life if you work on yourself enough. 

If you do not develop yourself from the mistakes you make, then that shows that you are not learning from your mistakes and you are dooming yourself to make the same mistakes later in life and this can completely ruin your future if you do not learn from your mistakes and develop yourself as a person. 

If you are practicing self development everyday then you are working on becoming the best version of yourself which is something that everyone should strive to achieve since being the best version of yourself will not only benefit yourself, but it will also benefit the people who care about you as they see your personal development and they see the change that you are going through in a good way since you are becoming the best version of yourself. 

I feel like if you do not work on improving yourself and stay the same throughout your entire life without learning from your mistakes then you are just going through a loop of life where you are the same person on the inside for your entire life and that isn’t what life is about for me. Life is about improving yourself and changing to adapt to the current situations and making yourself the best version of yourself for you and everyone you surround yourself with.

Everyone should practice this value everyday of their lives because even a small improvement every day adds up to a massive improvement over the course of a month, a year, or even a lifetime. You will be able to see the change you are seeking within yourself and other people will be able to notice it as well. 

This value should be practiced by everyone because if you are not improving yourself then you aren’t doing anything for yourself and just remaining stagnant and this is completely ruining who you are by just staying the same throughout your whole life. People that stay the same throughout their whole life are boring, and that’s not something that anyone desires to be. So it is very important to work on yourself every day, even if you’re just making a small improvement to yourself, you are changing your life for the better each and every day as long as you practice this value. 

I really believe that this should be everyone’s most important value because stagnation is the worst quality to have in someone and not changing at all is essentially killing your character from the inside instead of slowly building that character up and becoming the best version of yourself little by little. 

But at the end of the day, it’s for the individual to decide what is important to them. For some people religion and blind conformity is their most important value, just listening to what everyone else is telling them without reason. Many people do not realize what is really going on in the world and are becoming zombies to everything that they are being told just blindly listening to everything and believing everything they hear. With self improvement you will realize the truths of the world and the truths that are within yourself.
