In my own words, values is ones own principles and beliefs that is of an importance to them or others.
One value for me is to stay positive, being in a negative mood can not only hurt me but the others around me as well.
For another example, Honesty is another value that is important to me. Being honest can have many benefits, and can build trust and reassurance in a relationship.
Lastly, having a certain passion is of importance to me. My passion is art, painting, sketching, crafts, etc… and these interests provide me with a sense of confidence, importance, and worthiness.
