Values are at your core. They for you are at the heart of your morals, ethics, and how you carry yourself. They are unchanging where as goals are reformulated from time to time and are a reflection of our wants and needs. Wants are not values. Your stances on things are.

You mentioned my example of a belief in equal rights for all as a political choice and not a value. Yes they are connect but I think you have it backwards. My political choices are based on my values and not vice versa as it seems you have suggested.

**** goals can be achieved, values simply exist ****
