Values
The part that is tricky for me is how to reveal my own underlying values. In myself, the deepest values often are taken for granted and are completely obscured.
It is only in an extraordinary situation when I am paying attention that I can sometimes catch that a "good question" has been asked that could become quite valuable to me. Usually this value needs some thought to reveal it's meaning. I need to "put it together."
Probably because of the practice of TV watching, even when a valuable question arises that could offer significant insight, the non-sequitur change of topic glosses it over and so, no thinking or experimenting is done about it and the potential value disappears.
I am wondering if a better word would be motives. People rarely think about values.
