Summary

If you take inventory of your values, everything in your life becomes an evolution, not a revolution. Your values will change, making it okay to be a hypocrite, which is okay. Your values will also make it easier for you to make critical decisions, the next time you have to make an important decision, ask yourself, "How does this align with my values?" If you want me to answer your question on the podcast, tweet me @davidmeltzer, or email me a video at [email protected] of you asking me a question and I will answer it for a future episode!
