In this TikTok video, a man is talking about values.  He is talking about how it may be difficult to figure out what your values are, but once you do it can help you thrive in life and work toward what is important to you.  This relates to the worksheet because it has to do with identifying values and doing work to understand what is important in our lives and how we can better understand ourselves.
