Since I was 23 years of age I wondered what makes some individuals do what they say and walk their talk and others not do so and limp their life?
I soon came to realize that when some individuals set goals, objectives, and missions that are truly aligned or congruent with what they intrinsically value most they became spontaneously inspired, disciplined, reliable and focused on their intentions and increased the achievement of their most meaningful pursuits – they begin to walk their talk and lead the way for others.
But when other individuals set goals that were not aligned or incongruent with what they valued most, though they claimed they wanted to achieve certain outcomes, they were not spontaneously doing the actions essential for their declared outcomes and they kept requiring extrinsic motivation and would easily become distracted.
I discovered extrinsic motivation was a symptom more than a solution to great achievement.
I eventually came to realize by the early 1980s that people did not go to work for the sake of a company, they went to work to fulfill what they valued most and that their engagement, creativity and productivity at work was proportionate to how congruent the job description and mission of the company was to their highest values.
I also noticed that many of the students in my professional school were often studying simply to pass the next test instead of truly wanting to learn and master their content long-term.
They were in the pursuit of an immediate gratification more than a long-term vision and mission.
But those that excelled were more engaged and could perceive how the curriculum they were participating in would help them fulfill their highest values and dream.
In 1983, I noticed that some professionals in business were visionaries and inspired and were doing whatever it took to achieve amazing outcomes and others were plateauing repeatedly or stagnant and constantly comparing themselves to heroes but struggling to achieve what they claimed were their dreams.
Again I discovered the human value factor determining the distinction between the prosperous and impoverished the talkers and the walkers.
By 1984 I was realizing how human values played in relationships dynamics and families and how they determined either the respectful dialogues or disrespectful alternating monologues that ‘loved ones’ were participating in.
It became clear that unless two individuals could truly perceive how their partner’s or another family member’s highest values were helping them fulfill their own highest values that each would experience futility attempting to change the other.
Neither felt loved for who they were, which was an expression of their highest values which determined their identity.
By 1986 it become clear that social or business leaders were individuals that were more congruent with their highest values and exemplified this by their persistent intrinsic drive and their brains higher executive functioning skills.
It became clear also that when an individual was congruent with their highest values their resilience and adaptability went up and their wellness quotient and heart rate variability or autonomic allostatic regulation rose.
And the moment individuals were congruent with their highest values their levels of spontaneous inspiration, equanimity, mindfulness, gratitude and love for life went up - their spiritual expression.
All areas of life were found to be enhanced by helping others be more congruent with what they truly valued most.
So I could not do a presentation for all these years without making sure this most vital element of life mastery was shared, taught and skillfully implemented.
This was one of the reasons I have the Demartini Value Determination process shared so freely on my website to give people an opportunity to transform their existence into persistence.
Value determination and the many value applications, which I present during the four days of the Demartini Values Training Program became one of the cornerstones of all of my teaching around the world.
