You exchange based on what it is you value. Never put yourself on sale because you think people won’t value you. Value doesn’t come from an fixed scale, some people will value you as a person way more than others and Vice Versa.

It’s important for us to be uncomfortable accepting that value is abstract and you won’t be equally valuable as a person to everybody.

Find the people that believe in your actual God Given value as a human being.

Those are the people that foster proper growth.
