Good evening. 

Today I have very interesting classes that were dedicated to a very interesting topic and I want to discuss it with you. The topic was connected with self - development and life position of every person who comes on this planet.

I suppose that questions about sense of life and so one always bothering you (and me, as well). When I was 20, I thought I need to build up the career after graduation, I need to be a successful and attractive woman. But life showed me that I had another life scenario and I needed to live by this scenario. Not by the one I created in my head. 

After 30 I realized that before thinking higher things in life (like sense of life, your life values and goals and steps for reaching these goals, etc) you must fulfill your basic needs and interests like a save and cozy place of living, income, family, food and some other. After that your development starts going by a spiral.

Somewhere deep in my soul and according to my experience I realized that if you want to be successful and you want to develop all your inner resources, skills and talents, you need to save quantitative changes that will turn into a big qualitative change in your life. And it can take many years that you spend for saving this changes but then OP! - and a quality change in your life has happened that brought you into another level of feeling and understanding this world. 

So, let's get closer to the topic of our discussion :)  What we learnt today was a model of values suggested by Graves (Graves' value system). It tells that all human development goes by this spiral: 

When we born, we are on the first stage - the instinctive one. Some people stay there all their life :) Some goes further and as I wrote earlier if you want to change the color (to get the qualitative change of your life) you must save and collect all quantitative changes during the definite period of life that is very individually. 

We were asked by the supervisor -  where are we? What is our color? What is our mission in life? What led us from one color to another and which events helped us to change, to realize, to make conclusions, to become more conscious and get a level higher than nowadays? 

I found myself moving from orange to yellow color (and passing the green color very fast) nowadays due to my current work, knowledges, skills and experience. I caught myself that any question I'm interested in is an unknown system that is needed to be investigated and examined. 

I guess if we take the society and human development, it is obvious that we all moves from the Instinctive stage to the Holistic one. To my mind, our society is between Authoritarian and Achievist stages. In the perfect future, we should have systematic and holistic societies. Who know what we'll have if the humanity reaches this stage in the nearest future :) 

I met many people of different colors here :) I wonder, can you analyze your color according to this system (http://vievolve.com/values-systems-4/) and let's discuss which resources help you to move further. 

Looking forward for your honest discussions and opinion exchanges here. Thanks in advance  :)
