Grow Intentionally - #005 - You Must See Value In Yourself To Add Value To Yourself

Thank you for tunning in this morning on the Grow Intentionally Monday morning show and in case you've missed, here is the recording. 

This morning was all about the idea of seeing value in ourselves to add value to ourselves and this is true inside the personal growth area as it is in any other area of your life. 

In 2005 I was in the third year in college. At the time I've just married Florina and we were living and studying in Craiova, Romania and as a young couple still in college, supply was limited so we often went to the flea market to dress. There were vendors selling used clothes and shoes dumped by the germans, collected by gypsy merchants, brought to Romania and sold in the second-hand markets all around the country.

And we went there to pay 10 euros for a used Nike T-shirt instead of buying a new one for 20 euros or a new one from a cheaper brand for the same 10 euros. There were stores in the city that we never step into 'cause we thought they are too expensive for us. We were passing by in front of the window shop, never stopped to even look at the pieces that were exposed 'cause we knew "we will never afford it so why checking it out?" 

That was the value we saw in ourselves. And that wasn't only about clothes and shoes. It was about every aspect of our lives. Food, travel, experiences... everything.

That's why I say to people, tell me where you dress from and I'll tell how much you value yourself.
