Beliefs, Values, and Morals




The Williams family has a strong sense of family, values, morals, and work ethic.

First of all, in the Williams family, it is important that each member of the family feel loved, that they belong and that they matter. Being in the Williams family means that you always have a safe place to come back to when things don’t quite work out. Coming together for special occasions and holidays and just spending time together as a family is what helps build that sense of belonging.

 
The Williams family feels that it is important to respect each other and to take feelings, thoughts, needs, and preferences in to account when making decisions. We want to acknowledge and value everyone’s thoughts, feelings and contributions to the family as a whole.

Striving for honesty is another important value for the Williams family.  This is the foundation of any relationships that are meant to last. Mother-daughter, husband-wife, sister-brother. Without honesty a deeper connection will not form and certainly won’t last. 

Forgiveness is another important value/belief in the Williams family.  Forgiving people who have wronged you is an important choice to make. It is not some feeling that randomly washes over you when you feel the other person has “suffered” enough. This can be tough because many of us tend to equate forgiveness with saying what you did was okay, but it is not the same thing. Many in the Williams family feel that holding a grudge is not conducive to a close family with mutual respect.  Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is perfect.  

The Williams family believes in generosity to others, giving without thinking “what’s in it for me”.  This can include time, love, and attention, not just possessions or money.
