You have something to offer. This is a basic premise that may need to be revisited from time to time. And this is especially true regarding proposals of something new, different, out of the routine or a move like changing fields or moving to a new location.

What you have to offer in many cases is to a degree incalculable, and in the world of numbers and ranks, this kind of typecast thinking doesn't always work well in conjunction in thinking about what you may have to offer and how that might actually come about in reality. What you have to offer can cascade into many things if you can see it, believe it and follow the trails of what is yet possible.

It is easy enough to simplify a decision into a no go, based on criteria such as a lack of or minimal finances, or no clear picture on the other side as to what you have that seems to be of interest, but sometimes even a hint that you have something to offer could be investigated and as the situation or picture emerges you can see what this might be.

In some ways, this is a driven society, with some people in a lock down approach to what they are doing, working numerous hours at the office, logging tremendous hours online, or involved in a success driven pursuit that might hinge to much on the final score which seems to potentially erase all prior good efforts.

Within all this, the premising done as to what potentially you have to offer is reduced, becomes limited in terms of your thinking as you go into overdrive on other areas.

Then all of the sudden, you hear stories of someone coming to the office, and their card doesn't get them in the door this day, which means they no longer have the job they have been doing maybe for years, and now the question becomes, what do I have to offer elsewhere or in some other field of work.

There is no pat answer as to what you do have to offer, but you don't have nothing to offer and what you have to offer can range into a lot of things, a variety of things and things that aren't thought of in the boxes that we have already formed around so many things as a society as a whole. it may be that you would be a good hiking companion for someone in the National Park trail for today.

You don't have to go in every situation, with an over the top view of what you have to offer either. Someone might go on a date and feel they should be the dream person or nirvana for someone else where indeed if the perception falls short of that it could still be that the people could be friends or enjoy a good conversation. Or the discussion goes elsewhere and then planes that the two people potentially could have met on and enjoyed are eliminated from the discussion or further exploration based on finding out someone doesn't have a PHD when in fact they or you were offering something that might have been really wanted but needed to be explored and found out.

In beginning to consider what you have to offer, you can look at what people are saying to you, people who even in small ways make inquiries of you and try and see what the small seed of the situation could potentially bloom into. People might be knocking on your door softly but they are coming round the mountain towards you in part because you indeed have something to offer.

The more you find out about what you have to offer, then in some ways the more you find out about what you actually have as well.

Edison had a lot to offer in terms of discovering things but he had to investigate, experiment and explore to find out about this and he found out he did have both persistence and the ability to come into the range of breakthrough discoveries.

What you have to offer may or may not seem slightly diminished, but that doesn't mean it has shaded away fully or a lot. So even if you are discounting what you have to offer, don't diminish it fully in your own thinking as large remnants might remain. The ice formations in Greenland might be reduced due to global warming but you can still go there and see huge ice formations where the snow goes back to prior era of B.C. So large and substantials sums of what you had still might be operable.

Indeed one helpful tool is to hone in on positive words you do receive, If someone is saying you have a good voice, maybe you should sing or do voice overs for movies or be a radio person where the emphasis is on the voice.

Also, what captures your attention might also be an indicator as what captures you is often a reverberation back to a situation where you have something to offer. Something that resonates to you is also indicative of a range or open range of an area where you also have something to offer and the pull you are feeling to the situation goes to what you have to offer.

And also look at the small things and ways you have something to offer, almost like an actor that might help in a small scene in a movie. It may not be a staring role but it still offers into the movie as a whole.

In part those words you have something to offer can be looked at as an affirmation, but don't just say those words blindly or without contemplation, give yourself permission to climb or explore what might yet be rather unexplored slopes on the mountain of what you have to offer. It would be more like the affirmation of you have something to offer and then the wide echoes of that statement can branch out like sound waves rising and spreading out in different directions and widening.

The main thing is to keep that idea out front and let the idea that you have something to offer go slightly ahead of you like someone who has the snow blower slightly ahead of them as they are clearing the pathway so someone can walk along the snow filled streets or sidewalks. You want to keep that premise of you have something to offer in front of you so you can clear through even snowstorms that indeed will soon be behind you if you give yourself the chance to go forward and find and explore more of what you have to offer and maybe with those who might also be walking with you on that.
