My thought of the day is significance. What is significant about being significant? A whole heck of a lot. You don't want to live your life being insignificant to yourself and to others, do you? I don't even want you to answer that, because you should already know what I would write.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition for the word Significant is:
1. Having meaning; especially
2. Having or likely to have influence or effect.
Being significant to yourself is having meaning, importance and influence and knowing you have that power inside of you.
What ways can you make yourself feel significant?
A few ways I feel significant in life are through my family and friends. I think that is a HUGE place where I feel most significant and secure. I am also significant to myself because I am strong, smart and capable. I know I have plenty to offer. A person must know themselves before they can truly know anyone else. Being true to yourself and feeling significant to yourself is as important as being authentically true to you, as well. To tell you the truth being significant, true and authentic all intertwine. You can't be one without the other, at least that is what I believe. What do you believe?
Take a moment, think about where you are significant in your life. Think of the ways that make you most feel secure and know that this is where you are and where you should be. Tell yourself all the positive things you can think of about you. Think of why your family loves you, why your friends confide in you and why you ARE strong, smart and capable too. Know that it is okay to have those negative feelings too, like feelings of doubt, sadness, and fear. We aren't robots and you can't be happy everyday of your life, but you can learn to recognize your significance in this world and what you bring to the table.
Be significant. Love who you were, who you are today and who you will be evolving to. and know, that the journey to getting to your future self takes but one step forward.
