Understanding Personal Values Systems

Proverbs 10: 4 (AMP) He becomes poor who works with a slack and idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

If you follow the behavioral science that looks at what drives people, this verse applies to those who prefer the "Supporting-Giving® window to the world." This type believes that hard work is what will get them ahead, and they are correct.

Others prefer to be driven by diligently capturing opportunity and that will "make one rich." Some think the way to move ahead is to collect and analyze data and understand the trends that the data may show. Others feel that adapting built on the value of harmony is the key to success.

Each value system produces a positive result. How can that be? The value drivers may be different; being diligent to capitalize on our drivers, to moderate their use and to supplement when needed is the key to personal success. God has wired you a certain way and he expects each of us to learn how we are wired and use it for His glory – the turn coin of the riches realm.

Do you know what value system drives you?
