THE MAIN THEME: THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
TITLE: RECOGNIZING YOUR VALUES AND BELIEFS
The quote for today’s devotional is:
"Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny."
– Mahatma Gandhi
Devotional:
Imagine you’re on a treasure hunt. The map is your purpose, and the compass is your values and beliefs. Without that compass, you might get lost or go off course. Recognising your values and beliefs is essential to living a purpose-driven life—they guide your decisions, influence your relationships, and shape your destiny.
Take, for instance, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, an acclaimed African author. Growing up in Nigeria, her beliefs about justice and equality were deeply influenced by her experiences and cultural heritage. Today, she uses her platform to amplify voices, challenge stereotypes, and advocate for societal change. Her values define her work and inspire others to reflect on their beliefs.
In the same way, understanding your core values helps you stay true to yourself, even in a world filled with distractions. When you know what you stand for, it’s easier to make decisions that align with your purpose, avoid regrets, and remain focused on what truly matters.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- What are the beliefs that shape the way you see the world?
- Can you identify three values that guide your daily decisions?
- How do your values align with the goals you’ve set for yourself?
- Are there situations where you’ve compromised your values? How did that make you feel?
Let us pray:
Lord, thank You for the unique values and beliefs You’ve placed within me. Help me to recognise and embrace them as I navigate life’s journey. Guide me to align my actions with what truly matters and live a life that reflects Your purpose. Amen.
Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them, and live them:
- I recognise and honour my core values and beliefs.
- I make decisions that align with my purpose and integrity.
- My values guide me to live a meaningful and impactful life.
- I am confident in who I am and what I stand for.
Have a purposeful day, and remember to stay true to yourself. I’ll see you tomorrow!
