Looking for Personal Values.

In my reading, there is a lot of talk about finding my personal values.

I honestly don't know where to start and my mind just comes up blank when trying to think what my personal values are. Can anyone give me any hints on where to start and even what personal values actually means.

I suffer terribly from unattainably high personal values. I am compelled to "do the right thing" - which sound very noble and honourable - even if it against my own needs. It makes me into the model person or employee but it clashes with my feelings.

That does sounds very noble indeed. I have realised I did this core values exercise about 12 months ago as part of a course and totally forgot about it. My Core Values then and now seem to have changed completely.

Values against your needs and feelings is a tough one. I think I have a set of Core Beliefs about how I should be that do not help me at all.

I like the Core Values pictogram. All the different ones make me feel like I need a few more to add to my own list.
