  A bottle of water is $1 at the store, $2 at the gym, $4 at the airport, and $7 on a flight. Same water, different price tag, why? It ain't about the water , it's about where it's at . when you feel like people ain't seeing your value, it ain't cause you ain't worth much .   It's be cause you in the wrong spot . Maybe you ain't around the right crowd, maybe you stuck in a place that ain't built to recognize what you bring. So next time you feel underestimated, stop doubting your worth.   Ask yourself, where am I standing? bec ause if a bottle of water can be worth $7 just by switching its location , imagine what happens when you put yourself in the right place .

Sometimes you got to leave to level up.

If only they stopped and took a moment to see it.
