"If you keep practicing, you will get the hang of it!"
While this video doesn't exactly mention a certain value by name, such a respect or loyalty, it does speak to perseverance, which is important in relation to our values. Sometimes we find ourselves in positions where we've realized that we have compromised the things we value most in our lives, and we feel like we have failed ourselves. This is when it is important to remember that we should be proud of ourselves for the moments we stay true to our values through the rough moments, but if slip, we just need to continue on for we have not failed. I think this is particularly relevant to my life when I feel like I have let myself go against my values, and I feel guilty for doing something that goes against what I believe in. It is in these moments that I need to remember that, like this little boy says, if you keep practicing, you will get the hang of it. That is, if I keep working to always stay true to myself, even if I take a step backwards sometimes, I can always keep going forwards.
Life is funny. Things change, people change, but you will always be you, so stay true to yourself and never sacrifice who you are for anyone.

I love that video so so much! Cutest kid.
ReplyDeleteI like the point you raised that slipping is not the same as failing. We're all human, after all.
I think that staying true to our values is extremely important. I think that starting college it is definite something that I know I have struggled with. There are so many people pulling you in deferent directs and expecting you to act certain ways.
