GIVING VALUE AS MUCH AS IT'S WORTH

He was advising his friend, "Waste yourself on those who deserve you."

This sentence made me reflect on human relationships and self-worth. It made me question whom we should invest in and to what extent. After all, our most valuable assets in life are our identity, time, energy, and emotions. Since these resources are limited, it is crucial to consider carefully to whom we dedicate them.

Some people enter our lives only to take from us. They drain our energy, break our hopes, and exhaust us. These people often hold a place in our lives that they do not truly deserve; they prioritize their own interests over our well-being. However, there are also those who genuinely deserve a place in our lives. They empower us, support us, and make our existence meaningful. "Wasting" ourselves on them is, in fact, an investment that does not go to waste. At this point, we must evaluate our relationships and discern who genuinely cares about us and who simply benefits from our presence. The energy we invest in those who deserve it enriches both our lives and theirs. They are the ones who grow and evolve with us, helping us become better versions of ourselves.

We should hold onto the people who deserve us and build meaningful, lasting connections. This is the most valuable path for both our growth and the growth of those around us. Life is short and precious; sharing it with those who truly appreciate us makes every moment even more meaningful. Therefore, we must carefully consider to whom and how much of ourselves we give, and we should "waste" our energy only on those who deserve it.

There is a saying: "Give value as much as it is worth." This phrase carries a profound meaning about maintaining balance and self-respect in human relationships. Everyone has a certain value in our lives; some inspire us, while others merely drain our energy. Thus, how much value we assign to someone is ultimately a reflection of our inner balance. When we include someone in our lives, the time, energy, and love we dedicate to them should be balanced with the respect, trust, and support we receive in return. "Giving value as much as it is worth" means being aware of this balance. Human relationships, after all, are a form of exchange. If you do not receive a fair return for the value you give, it is worth stopping and thinking: "Does this person truly deserve my energy?" Is what they add to your life balanced with what you offer them?

"Giving value as much as it is worth" is not just a warning but also a guide to protect yourself and your emotions. The people who are truly worth sharing your life and spending your time with are those who accept you as you are and value you at least as much as you value them.

If we do not clearly understand and believe in our own worth, it will be difficult to demonstrate it to others and to receive appropriate recognition from them. Being aware of our self-worth and self-respect ensures that others recognize and accept our value as well. Knowing our worth is critical, both for personal growth and in relationships.

In short, we can see the phrase "Waste yourself on those who deserve you" as a guide for our lives and use it to build more conscious and meaningful relationships.
