The Joy of values

One of the biggest joys of life is waking up early in the morning and looking yourself in the mirror and feeling grateful for the moral values you were instilled by your parents and friends.  Having the freedom to live your life the way you want and having your ethical values and principles shaping your moments, hours, days, months and eventually, our life gives a great deal of joy and makes you feel different from the crowd. Moral values combined with your personality makes you a remarkable individual and agent of change who could change this World into a better place in their own respective ways.  One of the biggest gift from me to myself is self-respect which is nothing but a reflection of your moral values.
Here are few of the thoughts which originate from the values that have been taught to me by people who had been an integral part of my life. These thoughts have given me immense joy to me ultimately making my life wonderful and this journey called life a fantastic experience.

Thoughts:

Be a man of honor, respect yourself and other human beings.

Live life with compassion, kindness and love for fellow human beings.

Be a person who could be useful to others.

Support other human beings during tough times.

Take care of planet earth and animals around you.

Don't judge anyone one the basis of someone's caste, religion, education and amount of wealth they pose.

Think good for others and rejoice in their success.

Be grateful for the freedom you enjoy.

Take pride in your own nationality.

Live life with integrity and always do the right thing.

Stand up for those who are weak and protect them.

Empower other people and lift them up.

Treat people the way you want yourself to be treated.

Be brave and stick to your promises.

Fight your demons and defeat them

Avoid gossiping about others.

Out of approx 60000 thoughts I experience on a daily basis, these are one of the most important ones which have shaped me as a  human being and continues to make me better with every passing day.
No matter how many sports car, big houses or private jets you own, only one thing that you create by your own and defines you and shapes your life are your thoughts, values, and principles. So learn and create them with pride, love, and happiness.
I would like to end this post by a quote by Winston Churchill:

The only guide to a man is his conscience; the only shield to the conscience is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is impudent to walk through life without this shield because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and upsetting of our calculations; but with this shield, however, the fates may play, we always march in the ranks of honor.”
