Core values serve as your internal compass, guiding decisions both large and small. Research from the VIA Institute on Character demonstrates that individuals who clearly understand their character strengths experience higher levels of life satisfaction, better workplace performance, and stronger relationships.
When you're aligned with your core values, you experience what psychologists call "authentic functioning"—a state where your actions consistently reflect your deepest beliefs. This alignment reduces internal conflict, increases confidence, and provides clarity during challenging situations.
