Trade off....

How much we want to reach our full potential and fulfill our purpose in life depends on the passion, the learning, the growing and the trade offs we exercise in the journey to get there.  It is necessary to make trade offs  in life in order to continually keep moving towards our goal. We run into a problem when we have not worked to develop much in our lives that is worth trading. You can only make a trade if you have something of value to provide to someone else AND you are willing to give it up. Do others see you as a person of value? Would they pour something into you if you gave a piece of yourself to them or are you trying to hold all your value and take from others as well?
