9) Can’t Get Thankful

Even at our best, complaining is a constant temptation. We have been programmed to highlight the negative. A meaningful life has plenty to be thankful for. If we are challenged about our negativity and can quickly, and honestly, recognize how much we are thankful for, we are more likely to be living in our values. If it is truly hard to be thankful, it may be time for a change.

10) Things

When we are unsatisfied, we often buy into the concept of more. We pay our dues for a little more time, a little more money, a few more (or nicer) things. Things never satisfy. More is an endless loop. A lie. It is easy to get caught topsy-turvy in this cyclone where everything is a means to an end; except there is no end – it is a means to another means.

11) The Naming

The last and perhaps most important indicator that you are not living in alignment with your values is that you do not have your values named. Simply put, you do not know what they are. As the Cheshire Cat says, ‘If you do not know where you are going, any road will get you there.” If you cannot name your values, it is time to do so. Sit down and figure out the core of what really matters to you. It is the only way to live in alignment with that core.
