THREE
Values—A Firm Foundation

Values are the infrastructure or highway system we travel on to reach our goal.

If my family and I were taking a road trip to Disneyland from our home in Utah, we would have two choices. We could pull out of our driveway, point our car southwest, and begin to drive through neighbors’ dining rooms and yards, through cow pastures and weeds, across streams, and over mountain ranges until we got to sunny Southern California. The other choice would be to do an Internet search for the best route to Disneyland, and then print out and follow the directions that are given. I suppose option one would get us there eventually, if I had access to an amphibious assault vehicle—and if we could avoid arrest. But I think my family and I would enjoy the trip more if we followed the interstate—and exited the freeway once in a while for gas, a bite to eat, and a chance to freshen up.
