Pick one value and write a couple of sentences about why one of the values you chose is important to you.

If I have to pick only one value, it would be Inspiration. I think inspiration make us dream, and dreams are something we want and we believe in. Once you trully want and believe in something, you will have the energy to go after it and make it happen. The problems in the way will not stop you as you are not doing it just because you like it, but because you believe in it. When you believe in something, you will do it even if there are parts you don't like too much (as there are in anything that is really relevant), because you are doing it for a bigger reason.
