Have you ever actually sat down and taken stake in your value?… You know, what you feel you’re really worth and what you believe you bring to the proverbial table? Are you in situations where you know you are being valued and feel appreciated (I hope so… [sweet moment])? I’m sure on some level we all have (Maybe not, but who knows, right?).

I ask because there’s a similar thing happening in Cleveland Ohio that has me asking myself just where I could be (my dreams and all) and what I could have because of the value I bring.

Well, LeBron James (…in my opinion, the second best overall complete player in the NBA [second to Kobe Bryant, of course]) will be a free agent (This means he’ll be able to be shopped around the other NBA teams.) in 2010. Now, with his age, he’s guaranteed-aside from health issues-to be the dynamic future of the NBA. Rumors are spreading that he’ll take a crazy deal with the New York Knicks, the mecca of everything basketball (and pretty much everything else!!). Of course, he hasn’t confirmed or denied said rumors, but what would keep him in the mid west? Fans, family, loyalty? One can never tell…

For me, I’m just all about finding and knowing your value… Make sure you find (and appreciate) yours.
