values are proven
They are not something you can declare.
Your values are revealed and proven through your actions, not words. Until they are, they're nothing more than ideals that you may aspire to. Or worse, something you want others to think you aspire to.
There is nothing wrong with aspiring.
Just don't confuse it with being.
You are brave when you do the right thing despite fear.
You are resilient when you overcome pain and hardships.
You are committed when you say no to attractive alternatives.
You are what you do, not what you say.
