It can be really hard to stick to your own moral compass. Society tells us that we should do what others think is right, and that we should strive to be like everyone else. But following your own inner compass is so important. It allows you to live a life based on your own values and beliefs, rather than someone else’s.
And that is incredibly important.
How do I know what my morals and values are?
You might have a hard time figuring out what your personal morals and values are. That’s okay! It can take some time to figure that out. But there are some things that you can do to help you figure it out.
One way to start is by thinking about the things that are important to you. What do you care about? What makes you happy? What do you believe in? Once you have a better understanding of what is important to you, it will be easier to figure out what your personal morals and values are.
It can also be helpful to talk to people who you admire and who you think have strong moral compass. Ask them about their values and what they believe in. Hearing about how other people live their lives can give you some insight into your own values.
Why is it important to follow my moral compass?
When you follow your moral compass, you are living a life that is true to yourself. You are not trying to be someone that you’re not. And that is so important. It allows you to be authentic and true to who you are.
Living a life based on your own values and beliefs is also incredibly empowering. It allows you to create the life that you want to live. You are not living someone else’s version of what they think is right for you. You get to decide what is right for you.
And that is an amazing gift.
