CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A water bottle used and empty in the parking lot is worthless.  That same bottle at the grocery store (bought in bulk) may cost $0.50.  Bought at a restaurant, maybe $2.00.  At a convenience store, $3.00, the airport, $6.00, or at a sporting event, as much as $8.00.

That same bottle of water, depending on the setting has varying amounts of value.  If you are not feeling valued at work, in a relationship, in an organization, it may be time to change the setting and find your value.  we all have value, and we all have some control over our setting and maximizing our value.
