It is important that we are able to indentify personal values so that we can set achievable goals in our lives. Personal Values refer to the areas in our lives that we place value on. For example, if education is of value to you, it is important to set goals that will allow you to further educate yourself or assist in the education of your children. It is also important to pass these values on to your children so that they will understand the importance of having a set of personal values and sticking to them so that they can be successful in their own lives.
