How do you establish something's worth? Isn't the value of anything whatever someone is willing to pay for it? Let's discuss worth for a moment.
What is wealth worth to you? Is it worth your health, mental or physical? Your romantic relationships? Your privacy? Because if you become wealthy beyond your wildest dreams, all of a sudden your life becomes interesting to millions of people.
What is your productivity worth? If you produce ANYTHING and give it all your effort, what is the opportunity cost of the other thing you sacrificed doing for your project's completion?
While in the process of determining what Quality is to me, I'll be establishing what the Quality is Worth. What am I willing to give up to create Quality? Is it Worth the product?
Most of the time I think I should snap out of it, put pen to paper and be done with it. But of course, that's not what I do, is it?

i would argue (perhaps weakly), that if the product you are creating falls under the catagory of what you are passionate about in life, then you are giving up very little, and the worth to you is quite high.
the very
African, I thought you were giving up blogging so you could write. Get to writing...
personaly i find great worth in quality blogging that i can understand without my secret de coder ring....
@The Very Rev
I keep trying to figure out if I'm passionate enough to make the sacrifice. The obvious observation is if I don't know, then I'm probably not that passionate. I think I might just be really really lazy.
@TS
I'm writing. Seriously (no pun intended).
@Miss Ahmad
I can't help it. It's been that type of year.

LOL @ Miss Ahmad.
I see you are one of those people that have to weigh a million things out, rehash the concepts in your mind before making a decision.
Must be that Sag thing. Deep thinkers.
I am a Cancer. I tend to seize the opportunity and then ride out the wave.
IMO, 9 times out of ten, we spend way too long thinking about something that we already know the answer too. Trust your instincts and commit.
'How do you establish something's worth?'
Asking myself this question as I'm pondering on a friendship that I have. Don't want to part from it, but can my soul take not being more than friends when we both want more, but only distance is stopping us.
okay well i'm gonna help you out and let you know that i'm totally quality!!
You put a worth on it an work. Somethings are almost effortless, some take all of your being to create. It determined what you want, how bad you want it, and are you willing to do whatever It takes.
Deep analyzer, reminds me of my old job where we did that type of thinking. It has spilled over to my real life though.
@1969-Gurl, Im a Cancer, too. But my first house is in Libra which is why I think, rethink and overthink every situation, ad nauseum, weighing both sides of an issue till I drive my friend, family and myself crazy...oh we're supposed to be talking about Zed...
@Knockout-Love ends all doubt fear and indecision. Once you love something/someone you are willing to jump in with both feet and fight with it (her) until some part of it works. You dont notice the time or the loss because you are deeply satisfied with what (who) you have.
If you are still undecided...
Dammit, brother I know you got it in you. The debate is if you want to get it out now or sometime in the future when you think the time might be right.
Who knows when that will be? I'm sure there is absolutely nothing going on in the Anus that keeps you from dedicating that valuable time your fearing that you'll lose.
I say just do that shit and din't forget to invite me to the launch party. I can help cater the joint with a few West side stunnas.
You know what Zed....I thought about this some more, and i may have been on PCP. I look at my own life, at 37 years old, and the damn sacrifices i have made to continue to do what i am passionate about ...is staggering!
The Problem (i suppose i could call it that) is that there is nothing else i could do... I *have* to be doing what i am doing, if i didnt i'd be dead. (not that im not half way there anyway)
That being said- what ever it is your thinking about- you should just do it. You could be dead tomorrow. Me too, but at least we can say tried!
i found out last year that nothing is worth my personal sanity and health....totally different story though!
whatever you have on your heart and spirit, if it's worth the sacrifice do it. live how you want to live...and do it big. i lost a good friend two weeks. if i wasn't living them, i choose to do it now.
write a little here
write a little there
just start writing, and let it flow!
@Sixy
I'm bad at the rehash. Hella bad.
@Syn
If you take sentimentality and external value systems out of the picture, it's almost impossible to establish something's worth.
@Miss Ahmad
I didn't need any help to know that!
@Shai
My job ain't that deep. I can do it in my sleep. These other muthafuckas really sweat it, but I'm not that invested. That's the thing: if I don't care, then I'm able to go forth.
@Chezniki
That was some profound shit!
Love. Bah!
@Hassan
Everything in the world tells me this is what I'm here to do, but I can't get myself to do it. That's why I question whether or not I truly value writing. I know I can, I just don't.
@Very Rev
See, that's that passion I'm talking about. That's apparently what I'm lacking. Or else I have to look closer.
@Aqua
Damn. A reality check is something I hope I don't get soon. I'll use your reality check for myself.
@OneFrom
I'm doing a little. It's not quite flowing, but at least I'm writing.
KZ
I'm with 1969. Do the damned thing, man.
