Rebuilding Yourself – How To Be A Better Person
Apr 12, 2016
Lasting change doesn’t begin with motivation — it begins with alignment. When values move from abstraction to action, character reshapes itself over time. Who you repeatedly choose to be becomes who you are.
What if you could intentionally rewire yourself to be a better person.
Would you?
Perhaps you’d take away the anger or frustration. Or maybe the fear or doubt in your life?
Would you know where to start?
What if I told you that all you have to do is focus your actions and thinking on the elements that are fundamental to the good life, the best person.
The sort of person who is free of doubt and full of happiness and peacefulness. The kind of person who is truly good in their core being.
All you have to do is focus on your personal values.
With intentional focus, you can make these values your new DNA and the foundation of who you want to be, not who you currently are.
Personal character values
- Integrity
- Honesty / truthfulness

- Order / cleanliness
- Hope
Interpersonal relationship values
- Humility
- Service
- Respect / dignity
- Justice/ fairness
- Grace / compassion

Performance values

This list of values comes from Ken Eldred’s Book, God Is at Work.
To me, these values are what makes great businesses and entrepreneurs so successful. They exhibit these values and do not simply try to be the wealthiest or the most powerful. They simply exhibit a great character built on the bedrock of impenetrable values.
These are biblical values put in action by Christians and non-believers alike. Are you living these values? Are you rebuilding?
