Have you ever observed yourself, how you value things?
If you had done that, you might have noticed that you didn’t value it the same as before you got it.
People value things enormously before they obtain it, but the feeling becomes the inverse after they get it.
When I am speaking about “Value”, its not just about things. It can be about anything from a relationship, job, a new house and so on.
And now, you may have a question.
Why is that? Why do our values change over a while?
Before knowing the reason for the change of value, you must see how a value is determined.
The Game of Demand and Supply
Our lives are similar to a business model.
Everything in our life and business runs a similar basic concept – “Demand and Supply”.
Business is all about getting paid for settling up the demand and supply of people’s life.
So, the value is determined by the proportionality between demand and supply.
For example,
You may or may not value a glass of water at your home.
But imagine, if you are in a desert and your throat is undergoing thrust. Now there is a high possibility that you will value that same glass of water more than anything.
Let’s take another example from the current generations – relationship,
They love each other, flirt all the time, and they value relationship until they have that fear of losing each other.
After a while, when they get married, they lose interest in each other as they stop admiring each other.
(This is not in everyone’s case. But the study suggests that the divorce rates are high due to the reason that they stop valuing each other after getting married or after losing interest in each other.)
So, what should you do to maintain the “Value” same as always?
The answer is pretty simple; you should respect the demand and supply at any stage.
Its just emotions that will play with you when the demand and supply go up and down.
If you can think deep enough, you will get to know that the world runs through these two things – “Demand and Supply”.
And people will always value something or someone high when the demand is massive.
Similarly, people will value something or someone low when their demand is no more.
The money, fame, recognition, and sex play the role of currencies in trading value for this world’s demand and supply.
