Change your thinking to knowing that your life matters and that you are
important.
It can be easy sometimes to buy into the illusion of our own insignificance. We
may see large corporations or institutions, 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 are aware that on some level you believe 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 to 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 really does matter, new sources of energy can emerge and your sense
of connection with the world is renewed.
