Time to Re-evaluate Your Values?

Well, it’s been a few…since I wrote. That last one really stumped me. I kind of went into a fog not knowing how to process my boss leaving. And then it was made worse by having a difficult conversation with him on his last day. I had posted a comment on the company chat. It was meant to be sarcastic. You know, the half joking half for real comment. That kind of comment is easier to get away with in person, but my boss called me on it. Needless to say, my mostly-hidden negative attitude about a certain event at work came through. I know I should be glad that I have (had) a boss who is not afraid to confront me with the truth. But on his last day? It wasn’t comfortable and I didn’t agree with everything he said, but I did have to face myself squarely. What I posted was not helpful and did not add value to anyone’s day. And one of my values is my desire to add value to others. My discomfort probably came from my knowing deep down that I wasn’t living my values. I repent. And I commit again to providing value to others.

What value have you temporarily laid aside because of being overwhelmed by present circumstances? Is it time to re-evaluate?
