The more value found in my signal, the stronger it will be.
I think of my signal as how I am perceived by others. Like a radio signal, my signal appeals not to everyone but to certain people.
I think of my value as how I am of service to others. The more I understand and grow it, the easier I can communicate it, and You can connect with it.
So I tune in. I listen to the marketplace and my community for ideas on what I’m signifying with my brand. And I listen to myself.

A reflection of our disdain for authority in our own life.
The things our critic says are likely things we heard from an authority figure.
Things we did not agree with — but heard anyway.
Things that once were someone else’s ideas about us, that have now become our own.

There was nothing in the world I feared more then when humans attack.
So much so, that for a long time, I did my best to avoid humans altogether. To avoid them meant I wouldn’t be attacked.
I’d be safe.
But, the attacks still happened, despite my attempt to control and prevent them. No matter what I did, I couldn’t control how you behaved.

It’s really lovely to know that through giving freely, I can inspire someone to be more giving.
Sometimes though, I encounter a person who consciously (or unconsciously) feels free to consistently take more than they give.
I need to watch my balance with them. For as much as I love to give, and to encourage it, I don’t enjoy feeling used.
With this kind of person, I need to check in with my giving self, and be honest about who they are and what they want from me.

Money can be very revealing. It can help us identify the places where we are allowing lack in our lives.
Our money, the credit we have, is a reflection of the value we place on our gifts, and as a result, the value the external world places on them.
When we find ourselves with an external debt it may be because we are not giving ourselves enough credit internally. We have not yet fully realized the value we create. The value we are. And thus we are in lack.
