The North Star, or Polaris, is the brightest in the constellation Ursa Minor. For those in the northern hemisphere, it is the guiding star on any clear night. In the southern hemisphere, the Southern Cross helps determine due south. For centuries, these stars have provided the compass point for navigators, explorers, and anyone seeking direction. They remain consistent night after night and hold a special place for any stargazer.
People with a robust value system are steadfast and adept to address challenges. They are stable and consistent in their behaviors and actions. They are typically anchored and reliable, and comfortable with their responsibility and accountability to both themselves and others. Their direction is unwavering. In contrast, individuals with a weak sense of values struggle to address daily issues or disruptions. They create an inconsistent and unstable environment for them and others and are easily steered off their moral course. A strong set of values becomes the guiding light for individuals in their personal and professional lives. They shape character, guide behaviors, and are pronounced in an individual’s daily efforts.
Is your North Star clearly defined, recognizable beyond your talk and evident in your actions?
