Indeed, values determine goals, goals determine habits. The only thing I've felt that stayed with me consistently in life is my outlook, values and philosophy on the world. In an ever changing world, these keep me anchored, so that even when i drift too far, i'm brought back. Everyday we are bombarded with productivity porn, goals, and all that jazz, but none will ever stick if they aren't in line with what YOU really believe and want. The only way to achieve in this world is to discover who you really are, what makes you tick, and what you want, then i think you will automatically do what is necessary to achieve those goals.
