What do you Value?

What do you value?

I am not talking about material/physical things but a deeper sense of what are your inner values that matter you most?

Each year organised by World Values Day there is a day dedicated for us to remember, reflect and consider values and their impact for us as individuals, schools, community groups, organisations, nations and as the human race.

World Values Day 2022 is on Thursday 20th October and has a variety of activities and events around the world for us to get involved with on the theme if community.

From World Values Day website:

"World Values Day is an annual campaign to increase the awareness and practice of values around the world.

Values are what matter most to us. They motivate and guide us. They are the passion in our hearts, the reason we do the things we do.

In a world that can feel increasingly divided, values help unite us. They are the glue holding together our communities and wider society.

Our theme this year is Values for Community. So on World Values Day let’s put our values into action, reaching across the growing barriers that divide us to build stronger communities and a more united world."

Happy Life Habits is supporting World Values Day.
