Identify Your Values or Risk Cultural Default
Understanding personal values is crucial to avoid defaulting to the values prevalent in one's culture. Many people struggle to identify their true values, often confusing socially accepted values with their own. Inherent values often resonate more deeply on personal levels, whereas cultural values tend to prioritize performance indicators such as efficiency, money, rank, and speed. While these cultural values are not inherently negative, they can lead to dysfunction if they do not align with an individual's authentic self. Recognizing and clarifying personal values prevents the risk of operating under a cultural default that may not reflect one’s true beliefs and priorities.
