Turn a value into a practical action · S13.20
Compare your stated values with one recent choice
You want to check the fit between how you describe yourself and what you do.
Everyday practice
Try these steps
- Choose a value you claim and a recent relevant action.
- Describe where the action matched the value and where competing needs or constraints affected it.
- Choose one realistic adjustment, or revise the value statement if it no longer fits.
An example
I value reliability but overcommitted; I can promise less and give clearer timelines.
Reflect
What explains the gap without turning it into a fixed identity judgment?
Next time
Review another concrete choice rather than judging your whole character.
