It can be easy sometimes to buy into
the illusion of our own insignificance. We may see celebrities or
successful people in our community and compare ourselves to them,
thinking that their fame or material power affirm how little our own
lives amount to. But nothing could be further from the truth. Every
single one of us matters — tremendously. Our very existence affects
countless people in countless ways. And because we are each essentially a
microcosm of the larger universe, our internal experiences affect the
whole of life more than we could ever imagine. The world simply could not
exist as it does now if you, or any one of us, were not in it.
Perhaps you believe on some level that
your life does not matter. If this thought resonates within you, maybe it
is time to explore why you feel this way. You may have formed
self-rejecting or belittling beliefs as a child to keep yourself safe or
help you make sense of confusing situations. You may have felt unseen or
unheard and decided that there was something wrong with you, rather than
with the attention span of the people around you. Spend some time looking
into where these feelings of insignificance first took root, and see what
changes you might be able to make in your life and in your heart.
This one belief in your own
unimportance could be limiting you and impacting your life in enormous
ways. When you shift your perceptions around your own ability to affect
your life and impact the world, you may discover wonderful parts of
yourself that you had long ago forgotten. There may even be exciting new
parts that you never even knew existed. When you gain awareness of how
much your life does matter, new sources of energy can emerge, and your
sense of connection with the world is renewed.
