 Gentle Reminder....

#YouAreWorthy 
 So very true and we all need reminding of this sometimes 🫂💜 
 Indeed, sometimes we stay stuck in places where people will never appreciate what we unconditionally offer, and that's ok. Instead of trying to make them value or appreciate whar we are giving, we must learn to let go and let it be...and go were it will be celebrated. ✨ 
 Exactly this. Trying to not give my energy to the people that don't appreciate it. It's a long haul. 
 You don't need to stop, just balance. Energy exchange, when is not a dance that flow in waves, must be at least equal. You give as equal as what you get. I know it's easier said than done, for givers. But we must learn to do this and protect self. Sometimes a cut is needed. 🫂 
 You get it 🫂🫂. I give 1000% to everyone all the time and take 0% for me.  
 This.

 The values of the location matter also.
Example, I sometimes do work at bush music festivals (bush doofs). The pay is between $0 & $150 / day. As the event goal for most is just to have a damn fun time! Many of these festivals run at a loss year after year.. But profit is the point for man that create the event. So there ~$100/day
At pub/taverns etc, I can make around $800/day. Those places are ALL about maximising profit, regardless of social impact.. 
 YES!! SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK! 🙌🏻🎉 
 I am reposting the message bc I've encountered it several times in the last week (IRL) as I've moved about my day doing normal Shashue sh!t. 

The Haitian in me takes this as a signal.  
That's all!

 A good remainder that the value of money is determined by social agreements, and therefore,by relative social power. In the airport, retail management has total social power and you've got none, so they can devalue your currency when you buy things as much as they want.
