Talking of values and beliefs,we all have values and beliefs that guide our life,that is why in most times you get to meet people you don't get along with because their values and beliefs don't match yours.
Personally I have a lot of values and beliefs that guide my life especially as a woman but the top three I don't joke with when making any life decisions.
First is my self respect,I don't compromise on my self respect,I don't do anything that costs me my self respect because I know my worth,my self respect is my peace.
Secondly, making decisions I will not regret. I hate regret for some reason, maybe because you tend to look for someone or something to blame. Because of my hate for regret I take time to make decisions and when I do,I don't turn back.
Thirdly, giving up is not an option, okay this is the hardest of them all, believe me I can't count how many times I wanted to give up.
Especially getting to adulthood,the more I grow I realize how hard life becomes but I never stop trying,I never stop believing.
Most of the time I tell myself I will not give up until I get to my distance,what matters is I am moving.
