Coherent life based on values
We can adopt a set of personal strategies in our life that help us to be able to develop ourselves individually and in this way be able to live in a coherent way by simply applying our values and having priority over some aspects that are fundamental in our life.
It is important to live as it is really important for us, but it must be a coherent life, this means to live based on our principles and values, because when we live as we want but betraying our principles, then there is nothing coherent in that conjecture.
For all that has been explained so far is that it is important that we can learn to live as we want to live but always reflecting our identity and what we care about the particular lifestyle we choose to live. For this we should not confuse things, and think that everything is about a perfect execution of our life, what is really sought in a coherent life is that we can feel happiness based on what we do with meaning, that is to say that what we do makes sense to us.
What does it mean to live coherently?
To be coherent in our life means that everything we do is in the same line of our aspirations, because sometimes we want to achieve a goal, but our actions pursue the opposite of these objectives.
If we want something in life, we can achieve it without any problems, but if we want it in a coherent way it is because we want to achieve it based on our principles, for example if we say we are honest, but to achieve a specific goal we come and steal, then maybe we are getting what we are looking for but we are going against our principles.
What we must always do to be coherent is to never lose the sense of alignment between what we want for ourselves and to have well established that we can achieve it but applying our individual principles.
