Excerpt from a Vishen Lakhiani talk about how personal values often originate from past suffering or pain. He uses his own life—valuing unity, multiculturalism at Mindvalley, and his son's multilingualism—as examples and invites the audience to share values and their originating pain.

Chapters

Your values often come from your suffering or your pain. You were abused as a child, and you grow up wanting to do something to create more conscious parenting or more compassion in school. Now, in my case, what happened to me is if I go back to every one of my values, they came from some pain and suffering. One of my dominant values is unity. And now you see that in everything I touch. My son speaks three languages, Russian, Estonian and English. Mindvalley employs people from 54 countries. There are 70 countries here at Mindvalley University. Now, my question to you guys is, is anyone here open to sharing a value and the pain that led to that value?
