How one sees value and its proposition will always be rooted in one’s inner values, not what is shown to the world.
What is shown to the world is rarely important in terms of what one does in their daily decisions. Reality dictates us being far less important to others than we may feel. This is why internal action, as well as environment, is of far more value to oneself than any action expressed externally. While actions expressed externally will always be a mirror of internal function, they will never represent it 1-to-1. Those who rise in this life are the ones that are able to articulate simplicity based on their complex and diverse internal understanding.
