Input and output, consumption and creation, give and take...it has many names. Essentially, I'm talking about what value you're putting out into the world compared to what you're taking in. With nearly everything in life, there are pros and cons--the evolution/modernization of humans is no exception. There is a vast amount to consume in this day and age, especially when it comes to media. Hours upon hours of shows/movies, seemingly endless internet sites to browse, books/magazines/brochures of all kids to read, the list goes on and on.
What are you creating to bring value to the world? Find your niche, put it all out there--both for your benefit and for the benefit of others. I enjoy baking, though that end product doesn't make it too far into the world ;) I create content for my personal podcast, A is for Adversity, and release an episode weekly. I design family photo books and have them printed regularly, and I write on this blog, occasionally, to name a few.
If you're selling a product/service, does the price you receive reflect the depth of value you're giving? A wise woman once said to charge what you're worth (reflecting my level of education, experience, perspective, etc.) once I have my in-home preschool, there will always be customers. I will make sure I do.
Take a moment to reflect, do you spend more time creating or consuming? Is it pretty even?
