One time I had to catch a flight; and I meant to grab a bottle water from home, needless to say I forgot. I also had to stop at the gym to grab my bag along the way so I thought I would get it there. Traffic was horrible, so I wanted to make sure I arrived at the airport on time to get through all the checks. So I decided I’ll get one at the airport, because I know by then I will definitely be parched.
A bottle of water is one dollar at the store, two dollars at the gym, four dollars at the airport, and seven dollars on a flight, same water different price tag. Why, because it’s not about the water it’s about where the water is located .
See when you feel like people are not seeing you it is not because you are low value, it is not because you are not worth much. It’s because you’re in the wrong spot. Maybe you are not around the right crowd, maybe your stuck in a place that are not built to recognize what you bring.
Next time you feel underestimated stop and ask yourself where am I standing. Because, if a bottle of water can be worth seven dollars just by switching its location imagine what happens when you put yourself in the right place. Stop settling, find where your value matches your ambition don’t waste time trying to convince people who do have the vision to see it. Keep it moving sometimes you have to leave to level up.
