Nothing means anything. Nothing holds value until you assign it value.
Think of the people you love. They mean something in this world now – they hold a certain kind of value – because of your love.
Think of Ferrari. It’s simply a Ferrari. It’s a form of transport. But the meaning we’ve assigned to it is why people would pay $1M for a vehicle that would drive them to the same destination as a Hyundai would. It’s the value within the perception you hold of it, that makes that Ferrari valuable.
A rolex tells the time. So does your iPhone. So does a $10 wall clock. Your desire of it is what makes it valuable.
Your designer clothes. Your designer shoes. Your designer bag.
None of it means anything. Your desire for it is where it’s value lies.
Everything is energy. Desire is an energy. Value is an energy.
Things become valuable because you want it… because you love it. It’s value lies within the energy of your love.
Always remember this, especially with people. No one is better or worse than anyone. I don’t give a fxck if your Beyonce, the Queen or a homeless guy. They’re simply other humans like you and I.
Everything. Is. Energy.
Beyonce is Beyonce because many people are focused on her in a positive, empowering way. The Queen is the Queen because of the “power” and “value” she holds. A homeless guy isn’t valued the same way because he’s viewed in a negative manner. You can switch up how you view people at any time. Let other people have their thoughts and perceptions. It’s their experience. You’re going to think and feel different because you’re a different person that has been through their own experience. It actually makes more sense to think differently and see the world differently if we’re true to ourselves and our own experience. Stay true to your thoughts and emotions. Allow other people to have their own thoughts and emotions. It’s just as valid as yours.
Anyway.. back to what I was saying about what desire giving things value.
The person is simply a person. If someone is seeking attention, the attention they get is where their value lies – but simultaneously the value lies within the attention itself. So the people who value that person doing whatever they’re doing to get the attention/ acknowledgement.
If you want to truly know a person, observe what they value. Some value attention. Some value money. Some value physical appearance. It’s never about a person. It’s about the person (or thing/ place/ activity) that exudes the energy of what it is you value.
A person is just a channel for the energy. So for example, someone might value home cooked meals. Their girlfriend cooks for them. This makes her valuable because he values home cooked meals.
Person A wants sex. They will value the person (person B) who gives them sex because it’s the energy within person B that allows person A to experience sex. (Sex isn’t the best example because people do it for many other reasons – but even those reasons still have a desire behind it).
Person A desires emotional intimacy and conversation. They meet person B – someone who has the ability to have deep conversations and express emotional vulnerability. So person A develops a liking toward person B. But it’s less about person B being better or worse than anyone else, but the ability they have to have deep conversations.
We all have different desires for different reasons. We all value different things. Just because someone drives a Ferrari doesn’t make them superficial. They like Ferraris and they wanted one so they got one. They feel more valuable as a person driving a Ferrari, and a Ferrari would hold no value without the person’s desire to want it. We’ve all heard it – What you seek is seeking you.
Some desire to see inner beauty in others. Some desire physical appearance. It’s what they want to experience. They’re not wrong for wanting what they want regardless of how corny or superficial or deep it may seem to you.
Those who value inner beauty will see it. Because they desire to see it. To these people, it doesn’t matter if you’re a 12/10 – if you don’t have that inner beauty/ depth/ connection – you’ll never hold any value regardless of how good looking you are. Then some people couldn’t care less about your personality, they’ll want a 12/10 and that’s that. And that’s fine too… even though society tells you not to be superficial, it’s fine to want what you want. Just be ok with other people wanting what they want.
Where you place your attention is what you’re going to give value to – for good or for bad.
There are millions of people in this world right now who are literally nothing and no one to me, because I don’t even know who they are. The same as I’m nothing and no one to them. I literally don’t exist in their world.
Some people who don’t know the value of a Ferrari or Rolls Royce. They couldn’t care less about praising your ego and they don’t care that you own what you own. They aren’t focused on you at all.
Which brings me to remind you… be mindful who you try to impress because that’s what you are focused on. Your desire to impress them is holding more weight than whatever “thing” you’re trying to impress them with. In the case that you want something/ someone but it doesn’t want you back – that doesn’t means you hold any less value. Well, maybe in their world, but you don’t know how everyone else sees you. You’re assuming. It doesn’t make you any less because the only reason they’re valued is because of your desire and how you perceive them. Everything is energy so place your energy on gratitude and you’ll always feel enough.
What you want is wanting you. Whether it is a person or an object. It would mean nothing without your desire for it. Your desire is what gives it it’s value. You give things value.
