If we had any idea how much we mattered (even to people we don’t know well) we would be overwhelmed with joy. Thoughts of being not good enough, feeling inept, concern over others’ opinions of our actions, fears of not living up to our potential, or not even knowing what that potential is, loneliness, scarcity and lack would not even enter our consciousness.
Certainly the thought of suicide would be the furthest thing from our mind.
The fact of the matter is, so many of us have been disconnected not only from ourselves, but from our community of support that we have forgotten how truly important and valuable we are.
My wish for you is that — if only for a moment — you see how much your words, your smile, your heart and your TRUTH matters. YOU MATTER.
The fact of the matter is this: You would not be here if you didn’t matter. You are here for a reason. It’s important for you to live out the dreams in your heart in order to see your reason for being fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.
If you’re not certain what your big dream is, or what your purpose is, that’s ok. It will come to you. Keep doing what brings you joy. Explore things you are passionate about. Your dream is tied to your passion and joy.
We are meant to live passionate, joyful lives. You deserve no less than the very best.
Put yourself out there — every day (even if it’s in a small way). Every journey begins with ONE step.
Keep hoping. Keep dreaming. Keep believing. Keep trying new things.
