Creating a Personal Values Statement

A good template for a personal values statement is to have a short preamble followed by an amplified list of values in newsletter format  

The following is a list of my core values in roughly decreasing priority  

Family Collectively, my family is the most important institution in my life, and individually Jill, Fred, Sam, and Roxanne are the most important people in my life. 

Security The world is increasingly a dangerous place, and my family must have a secure home far from potential upheaval and unrest. 

Learning I am a learning machine and am happy when I am engaged with unfamiliar or new ideas across a broad range of topics.
