I always look for value in anything I do, and I found plenty in Dr Demartini's talk. His essential message was the importance of aligning your goals and your highest values. If your goals and values are not pointing in the same direction, you are incongruent and will not succeed. Discover what inspires you and then use this understanding to clarify your purpose, strategise your actions and live proactively towards your most inspired goals and dreams.
Very importantly, Dr Demartini also shared on determining which values are actually your values, as opposed to the values injected by, or accepted from, society and other people. This is obviously crucial if you want to be authentic and follow your own highest value. As an example, if your own highest value concerning money is to exchange it for fast cars or shoes, then this will be in direct conflict with another value you may learn from society, of save every penny and get rich. Techniques for changing the priority of values, developing your strengths to create a business that serve others were also discussed.
The only negative in this evening for me, was the length of the "advertisement" at the end of his talk. Dr Demartini is in Cape Town for a couple more days and held a now tired and sagging audience for too long as he passionately described his other talks, workshops and some of his product. You can find a full programme of his events at www.drdemartini.com/events.
I drove home with plenty of ideas and thoughts to digest, which I am using right now to re-explore and update my own perceptions and presentations on goal setting.
