What Gives Anything Its Value?

"Nothing has value unless someone believes it does."

Have you ever stopped to wonder what really gives something its value?

Let’s take a simple example: a baseball. You can walk into a sporting goods store and buy one for less than ten bucks. It’s just leather, stitches, and a little cork inside. But in 2022, one baseball sold for $4.3 million. Why? Because Aaron Judge hit his 62nd home run with it—a historic moment in Major League Baseball.

Same ball. Same material. One is pocket change, the other is a multi-million dollar treasure.

So what changed?

Not the object.
The value.

And where did that value come from?
Not from the ball itself, but from the meaning we assigned to it.

Value is not inherent—it’s subjective. We, as human beings, are meaning-makers. We decide what matters. We attach stories to things. We project emotion, history, memory, and belief onto objects and experiences, and suddenly, they become valuable.

This isn’t just true for baseballs or memorabilia. It’s true for everything.

Money is just paper and metal—or now, digital numbers on a screen. A diamond is just compressed carbon. A designer handbag is leather with a logo. None of these things are intrinsically valuable. We assign value to them through belief, branding, scarcity, or emotional attachment.

But here's where it gets personal…

If everything only has value because we believe it does, then that means the most powerful force in the universe when it comes to value—is belief.

Your belief.

So what have you believed about your own worth?

Have you ever devalued yourself because society told you that you’re not enough? Have you ever allowed someone else’s opinion to determine your value? Have you ever mistaken your job title, bank account, or relationship status as proof of your significance?

What if you stopped all of that?

What if you reclaimed the power to assign your own value—not based on someone else’s standards, but based on your Divine identity?

The truth is, your value has never been in question. Not really. The same way the $4.3 million baseball was still “just a baseball,” you, too, are still just you—but with one crucial difference:

You are a spark of Divine Intelligence.

And there is nothing more valuable than that.

When you know this—truly know this—you stop chasing value outside of you, and start creating value from within.

You stop asking, “What am I worth?”
And start declaring, “I am worthy—because I exist.”

Now that’s power.
