Using your own personal values to help you think about life is really important because it lets you develop your own personal views!  Here are a few ways to help you decide on the things that are important to you and expand your ideas.

1.  Read, read, read!
Books are filled with awesome stories and interesting information!  Reading lots of different books can provide you with new ideas and different perspectives on life.  Try thinking about what parts of the book you like and don't like, and which ideas you agree with.

2.  Think about how others feel!
We have all had different experiences in our lives, and that makes us all react to things differently!  If you find yourself disagreeing with someone, think about why they have their opinion.  You might find that you can understand where they are coming from!

3.  Decide on your own values!
Find out what is important to you, and try to live your life according to those things.  Some of my values are treating people equally and being kind!

What are some of your values?
