Your Value is Your Costing.


The Blue diamond is known for its brilliance,strength,radiance and glint, the Oppenheimer blue diamond is said to be the largest diamond ever auctioned at price of $57.5 million dollars. The Blue diamond renowned for its distinctive quality in its crude form appears less attractive than its final form which attracts an huge price set because of its rarity and immense value. The Blue diamond though unattractive in its crude state still has much value as in its final state but ends up more appreciated in its radiant form.

Prices, costs are always arbitrarily set to gauge the value of anything and every choices ever made or will be made is based on its value.
Value is the quality of ourselves, talents, gifts which we give out and in Merriam Webster terms 'usefulness or importance'.

Costs and prices are simply fixed based on perceived value, a diamond is perceived to have a very high value because of its inner qualities and its rarity. Also buildings, cars, aircrafts and other luxurious items have high costs because of the very high value that they give out.

My friend of recent was amazed at an Uber drive from Lagos to Akure city and back costing N50 000, I smiled when I read his thoughts, obviously the value the client in question got from the air-conditioned, safe, comfortable and luxurious ride was definitely worth the price, an aircraft flight or a bus ride would get the same result but would give different fulfilling experiences, my friend though amazed by the discovery ended up rejecting the mindset of the price being too high.

The price is 'too costly' might have been one of the limiting terms we might have heard over and over and has ended up being ingrained into our subconscious mind and we keep on living this mindset day in day out and resulting in us always settling for 'cheap' things that are not really valuable, the delirious thing to know is that we can always walk away from the limiting mindsets we have imbibed before and begin to have the mindset of abundance.

Schools, Universities and colleges that charge an healthy amount of fees usually end up giving the best to their students and employees - good environment, outstanding interpersonal relationships, excellent facilities are but a few good things enjoyed and the students and workers enjoy the rewarding experience and thus the set fees is justified(Of recent I have wondered about the embittered thinking directed towards people who send their wards abroad for good education and I really believe that education is the real key to providing more value so let's get really excellent education, affordability is relative and impermanent, get better where you currently stand and sooner you'll be standing where you wish to, there are a lot of poverty and limiting mindsets ought to be thrown away into the incinerator).similarly well designed houses, cars and well groomed people who have undergone different value addition lessons attract more value and therefore naturally cost more.

We all learn, study to give out back to the society, and it's only what we have that we ultimately give out, why do we go to school? It is to learn how to identify ourselves and gifting, improve on them with the aid of more experienced tutors and then personally sharpen ourselves the more to appear and be more lustrous in value.

The physical ecstasy derived from feeding our eyes with wonderful pictures of luxury we are exposed to every day makes us value the end product so much that we forget that the end product is an effect and not a cause, over prioritizing money which is just a means of exchange - a means to the end and not the end itself might have grown to be a subtle deception.
A limited thinking pattern is ready to do anything to get money, which is always successful on the short run but ends up being destructive on the long run, a trader or student or business person or any one in general who is so focused on shortcuts to providing half-baked value with an underlying sole intention of making money will usually forfeit the main points of value creation which is wrapped up in superb product(or service) quality, good customer(or people) relationship and lasting fulfillment which are vital to consolidating a thriving business brand, if and only if such mindsets gets really educated on value creation will there be sustainable wealth of fulfillment, material rewards and love all gotten from healthy value creation.

Anything we find ourselves doing should be done well, why? Because in doing it well, we further enhance our value, there are no little things as little things always aggregate together to form big things, therefore doing everything with zeal, passion and dedication is the key to sustainable value. Everything I say!

The diamond in itself doesn't know its value(acceptable because it's inanimate) yet it's highly valued among men.
Everyone of us is as valuable to the whole world to the point we realize and accept it so, living life is knowing that you are a blessing to others and not just living for oneself, providing value to our fellow humans will make us fulfilled internally, useful externally and blessed materially, focusing energies on the end product most times wear us out. Take care of giving out your Value and the rest will fall in line.
Identifying your talents, sharpening them daily, giving out yourself through speech and actions in the best possible ways daily sooner increases your worth and value and one's indispensability and the good news is that we are all very valuable and indispensable.
The diamond is highly valuable because of its distinguished and distinctive rarity and we share such quality,every human is rare(there are no two same persons anywhere on earth), utilizing our talents greatly will make us really valuable and we will sooner attract quality people and things into our lives and never have to worry about the prices of anything before we make a purchase of whatsoever we desire.

If we don't enjoy the good things on earth, who will?
You are highly valuable than you think!
