*Table Showing my personal and project values*

Reflection:

1.     Does the values of my project align with my personal values?
Yes, because my values help me to grow and develop. They help me to create the future I want to experience. Hence the reason why I merged both set of values together.
As an individual, I, as well as my organisation (Golden Opportunities), is involved in making hundreds of decisions every day. The decisions made are a reflection of my values and beliefs, and they are always directed towards a specific purpose. That purpose is the satisfaction of my individual or collective (organisational) needs.

2.     Is your project built in a way that you can honour your personal values in regards to family, work life balance etc. Do you need to adjust anything?
My project definitely honors the foundation on which my values were shaped. I carried and passed on my personal values into my organisation, which made me come to the realization that everyone works according to their own ability and all they need is a little guidance and love.

3.     Does the work you do hold to values that keep you inspired when dealing with the more mundane project tasks or when things aren’t going to plan?
Yes it does because I have this determination and persistent that cannot easily be phased by difficulties or road blocks. So no matter what challenges I face, I tend to make my way around them in order to fulfill the mandate at hand.

4.     Can you identify how your values will help you make future decisions? Saying yes or no depending on how they sit with your personal/project values.
Having a clear understanding of my values enable me to think clearly about the decisions I make daily, in relation to any and all aspects of my life.  When a new opportunity arises, whether it is an upcoming event, a new job, a family issue or I have to get my foundation onto a huge project, I am more than ready and able to carefully consider my values in making my decisions.

5.     Think about your mission statement – does this reflect the values you have identified?
They certainly do because ‘Golden Opportunities’ is all about empowering, supporting and educating; just as much as my values are!

Values and Conflict- Cross over of beliefs

Cross over of beliefs-  "Everyone should be free, comfortable, happy, and treated fairly." -LJ. My Beliefs Their (alternate) Beliefs Discrimination should be prohibited, whether direct, indirect or it is based on a person’s actual or perceived sexual orientation. People have the right to express how they feel about something they don’t feel comfortable with, whenever they feel like. Sexuality can be toward the same, opposite or both sexes- it is all about one’s choice. We should only be attracted to the opposite sex. Support and protection should be provided for those who made choices contrary to that of society, however they are just as equal. If they are equal to us, they need not to be provided with special support and protection. 1.      My beliefs about sexuality and equality: Found in the above table. 2.      The alternative beliefs of anot

Competing Beliefs; My Beliefs vs. Their Beliefs- Volunteering

  These beliefs were clearly related to volunteerism, the qualities one must possess and how we see ourselves when helping others. I believe that we actually have a choice as to whether or not we want to volunteer in whatever capacity possible, however someone expressed that we have no choice and we must do it.  Also, the main important aspects of my life differed from that of the other individual to some extent. Our beliefs intertwined where we both share the view that we all can and should have the urge to love unconditionally, and our most valuable asset is ourselves, but only if the person or people prove to appreciate you. My beliefs Their (alternate) beliefs I think every individual volunteers in response to our own values and beliefs; we have a choice. Volunteering should; everyone should do it. The five main important aspects of my life:    - genuine happiness    -success    -positivity    -family (friends and mento
