What is your value in cash?

You are trying to create a value for others. What makes you think that what you are creating is really valuable?

What people are able to give up for your value? What if you are wrong at your value estimation? What if your activity is not needed for people? How to measure value which we bring to the world?

Creating out of nothing

People frequently create something from nothing. At least it seems so. As a matter of fact they just find something which other people don’t see at a first glance. Creative people take all available resources and combine them in a new way.

It is the matter of applying our thoughts, enthusiasm, energy and other available resources. We see a person. We praise him and create his good mood. We raise feelings in him and help him to be valuable. We attract attention of people to some insignificant facts and make facts significant. We've increased value of these facts. 

Is there progress without pain?

As long as I remember myself all of my personal accomplishments which I consider to be victories I made with big effort. I forced myself to do something. It was painful and hard. And it doesn’t matter whether it was physical training or any kind of mental activity. Sometimes I really enjoyed this pain but all the same it required some kind of sacrifice and self overcoming. 

If you want to buy victory (create value), be ready for the payment. And the payment is the actions which can be uncomfortable to you. 

Just do something

Can we create anything while doing nothing? We can be still valuable for our families or other people who love us. But where is creation?

One of the most important thoughts in Steve Pavlina’s article “Are you faking progress” is that without small steps in the right direction, without fails you wouldn’t create a big value. Creation is hard but that is the price of victory.    

The purpose of our actions

Do you analyze your everyday activity? How much time do you spend for nothing? Can you stop and ask yourself: am I creating value now?
