Core Values?
What's within my core?
Multitude of values were being instilled in me and even on you since we're little.
But what is it that I strongly live by?

At first I never took notice what is it that makes me who I really am.
I just thought there are only good and bad;
Do what is good and Do no harm.

Very easy Right?

But there are values that I don't really and fully abide. Just like being Honest, even though how much I wanted to always tell the truth, I just can't. There are truths that I need to hide and hide from. Another example would be Consistency and Reliability, these are some of those values that are not genuinely within me. Its like I can be committed or I can do it for some time, but as always—I get off the track.

But there are values, My core values that I cannot compromise just like my;
Faith —my faithfulness to Him will not wither for He is the only one whom I can truly rely my life on.
Love/ Compassion —for without this we all know there's nothing that would make sense.
Hope —for it makes me humble and gives me courage. And fear means nothing when you are hopeful type of person.

So yes, I think these are what creates my Internal compass. I stand by these values through and through. These are the values that hones me as a person.

“Your values create your internal compass that can navigate how you make decisions in your life. If you compromise your core values, you go nowhere.”
― Roy T. Bennett
