What do you value? This question that you need to ask yourself is one of the most important questions whose answer that you need to be clear about in your life. Throughout your life you want to do many things and it is those things that are aligned to your values that will bring you true fulfillment.

I am not asking to just write down what you value. I’m asking you to ask yourself the question of what do I value? What makes my spirit dance? What makes what I’m doing larger than life?

So get out a piece of paper and pencil. Answer this question.

Imagine you are walking in the field full of flowers. The air is full of the smell of life. The sky is blue as you have ever hoped to see. The sun beams gently onto your face.

You look out into the distance and see a glimmering light.You walk lightly through the field and find where the light is coming from. It is a box made of glass and it is the sun reflecting off of it somehow that is causing the glimmering.

You pick up the glass box and it looks like there’s nothing inside because you can see through the glass. You undo the simple latch which is merely a little hook that connects the top from the bottom. You open the top of the glass box and smile.

The box is not empty at all.

You reach inside the box and gently pick up the photograph that sits inside. Your smile grows even wider as you look closer at the photograph and you begin to laugh or perhaps you feel a tear coming into your eyes.

There is no hand of confusion in yourself as to why this photograph is in this glass box in this field of flowers on this beautiful day with the blue sky so perfect and the smell of life in the air. It all makes sense.

You stare intently at this photograph which is like a doorway into your source. The field and sky around you begin to blur and you hear familiar sounds, see familiar spaces, smell the memories of a moment well lived. The photograph wisps into the scenery.

You look up. You are back at a moment in your life when you were aligned with all there is and ever will be. You were on and everything made sense. Your smile on your face exemplifies the contentment of your spirit. You are fulfilled.

Feel this moment in your whole body. This is who you are. These are your values dancing in your soul.
