In this brief advisory video, Ben Morton guides viewers through a simple quarterly self‑assessment system for staying aligned with their personal core values. He first advises identifying five to six core values that matter across all areas of life, not just work. Then, every three months, one should pause, ask the single question “How well have I lived up to my core values over the past three months?” and rate the answer on a 1‑to‑5 scale. The rating is framed as data rather than judgment, providing insight into where one may be drifting. Morton illustrates the process with a health‑value example: a score of 2 signals a need to adjust habits in the next quarter. The overall purpose is to create a regular, low‑effort feedback loop that helps individuals course‑correct and maintain alignment with what truly matters to them.
