Living by your highest values

In January this year, I wrote an article on values and judgement, which was in part inspired by the dramas happening in the world of cricket that that time. A few weeks ago, I attended a Dr DeMartini seminar on Your Thoughts Determine Your Destiny and DeMartini spent a good part of the seminar talking about our values because he believes that our values determine everything that we do in our lives.
