3. Next, imagine that you are told that you will be given another value to have for your entire life. What is it?
Choose now? That will be your value No. 2. Keep doing this until you have 10 values. These values will be your

EXERCISE ON VALUES AND VIRTUES
Keep the list of your 10 core values with you at all times, so you will have it in mind.
2. Anything you do in your life, anyone close you come into contact with must be in
consonance with those values so that you feel happiness in your life. That being said:
• If your partner does not agree with those values, you may need to reconsider your relationship.
• Si su trabajo no está de acuerdo con esos valores, tal vez deba plantearse un cambio de trabajo.
• If your friends are not in line with those values, you may need to change your friendships.
• If your hobbies do not align with those values, seek others that do.
3. Review everything you have in your life to see if it honors those values. For example:
If you have chosen 'Education':
• What is education to you?
• ¿Se rodea de gente que la/o trata educadamente?
• Do you treat others with politeness?
• Do you treat yourself with respect?
If you have chosen "Inner Peace":
• Do you feel at peace when you are doing your duties?
• Do you feel at peace when you spend time with that friend?
• Do you feel at peace with yourself?
Review the list of values that appears in the table; after a while, you will see that as it evolves, its values may change.

Of its 10 fundamental values, how many are virtues? A value is the 'ought to be', it doesn't necessarily mean
what IS. Virtue is the 'being', in which, thanks to HABIT, the person automatically (without the need for
to think about it) he applies it, that is, he has the HABIT.
How are you 'IS'? Yes, 'IS' as you want to 'BE'?... If you have really been honest, you will realize that there are values.
for working. That is what personal development consists of.
Human beings are not perfect and will never be, but we can create habits (customs) that allow us
getting closer to that perfection. Thanks to repetition, discipline, and willpower, we can develop through the
time those customs, so initially we may not be. We train the brain and the subconscious to react
in the way we want in response to external stimuli.
SUPPORT AND MONITORING TABLE TO ACHIEVE VIRTUES
In the following table, write 10 values you would like to improve; they do not necessarily have to be the same as the ones from the
past table. For each value, write the habit you want to generate. Then define a concrete action that you will
decide and commits to doing it to develop that habit. Review at the end of each week what percentage
You accomplished it. Always push yourself harder for the next week. Repeat until it becomes automatic.
