What values shape your life?

Do "values" have to be summed up in one word?  If not, I'd have to say my love for my family is the one thing that comes to mind.  That love shapes my life in a number of ways.  My love for my wife prompted me to up-root the family rather quickly and move all of us to Pennsylvania where my wife grew up.  My love for my children keeps me in my car acting as taxi driver a great deal more than I'd like.  My love for my parents keeps me in the business of taking pictures and uploading them to flickr.  My love for my in-laws allowed me to purchase their home for my own and allow them to move in taking a huge burden from them.

So I guess I'd say the "value" of love drives me more than anything else.

Of course one could argue that these things are just my "life situation" and not really my "life". In that context I'd guess I'd have to say the value of "asking questions" or my inquisitive nature is the answer.  I question just about everything. Again I don't know if the average person would consider this a value.  But I guess I do.  What do you think?
