Why You Matter Even If You Think You Don’t
How to know you matter and make a difference in the
world
By Ikechi Awazie
NOW.
He wants to tell you why you matter to yourself,
somebody else, to us, and to the world.
Have
you ever thought about the reason why you matter?
It
seems the world is so big. There are more than 7 billion people on earth.
So
how can you stand out? What do you have to offer?
What
do you have to contribute that matters?
You
are properly struggling with this emotional pain; self-doubt, insecurity,
fear
of not belonging, feeling puny and being insignificant.
It
is not your fault, and you most certainly are not alone.
We
live in a society that enjoys picking on the minority or less worthy.
Sadly,
many of us are living among these minority groups where the color of one’s
skin,
gender
inequality, religious background and other norms, seems to be the measure
in
which some groups are marginalized by a society that values one idea over the
other.
Now
the world might not acknowledge your worthiness;
your
family and friends may not adequately communicate
the
importance of your existence in their lives,
and
you might feel you have nothing that matters.
However,
the truth is that YOU MATTER and from the bottom of my heart,
here
are the reasons why.
Being YOU is What
Makes The Difference
You
are enough! Maybe you have no skills, no knowledge, and no riches.
Maybe
you think that you are not good enough, smart enough,
and
not great or perfect at doing things.
But
no matter the number of permutations and combinations plus genetic experiments,
there
is no one that can be like YOU.
Why?
It
is because you are valuable.
You have an individual purpose that cannot be compared
with others.
As
long as you stop comparing yourself to others;
as
long as you stop doubting your endowed abilities,
you
will see that you are the amazing creation blessed with amazing blend of unique
gifts;
above
your self-imposed limitation.
“No matter who you are, you can provide value.
We each have an individual purpose. Always Believe
in You.” ~ Brooke Griffin
You Have a Gift
That Others Need
There
are people who get their problems solved just because of you.
If
you did not exist, those people who need your help, would never be helped.
Without
your presence, those people, who would have made their lives better
will
lose this opportunity forever.
You
do matter in ways you never imagined.
You
can throw more light on a situation that no one else can possibly provide.
You
cause a rippling effect just by giving a helping hand; just by taking a little
action.
Your
solution enables people to achieve a fulfilled life, and this spreads to their
families
and
their entire generation until it becomes a legacy or philosophy.
Now,
some people may not like you; some people might even detest you,
and
that is ok because you truly cannot please everyone.
However,
those whom you have been called to make a difference
and
be of service will cherish your existence and your business.
“Never forget that you are one of a kind.
Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you
in all your uniqueness to be on this earth,
you would not be here in the first place.
And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s
challenges and problems seem to be,
that one person can make a difference in the world.
In fact, it is always because of one person that
all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.”
~ Buckminster Fuller
Your Voice Does Matter
Why
would anyone decide to make the greatest impact in your life?
Why
would anyone want to provide you with guidance, direction,
and
coaching – to enable you to achieve your goals and biggest desires?
I
will tell you why.
It
is because of their sincere belief in you.
In
words and action, they show you that you matter; they believe in your VOICE.
You
do have a unique message and voice. This is what people know as a STORY.
Yes!
Everyone does have a story, including you. No one can tell your story better
than you.
Your
story has the power to make a difference, to build up courage, to leave
a mark,
to
make people overcome their limitations, and to make someone feel belonged.
The
world is waiting for your life changing lessons.
Your
pain, conflict, heartache, and passion are challenges that can be turned into a
life lesson
and be
shared with everyone.
Do
you know that there are people who are listening to you
and
you have caught their attention? Think about this.
“The one thing that you have that nobody else has
is you.
Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision.
So write and draw and build and play and dance and
live as only you can.” ~ Neil Gaiman
Your Presence
Automatically Liberates Others
You
do not have to be on the center stage to make a difference.
The
reason is simple;
There
is somebody out there that is proud of you; thinking about you; cares about
you;
wants
to talk to you; misses you; celebrates your success; wants to hug you;
believes
you are a blessing; admires your strength and courage; values your wisdom;
treasures
your spirit; can’t wait to see you; has faith in you and trusts you so much.
Your
existence is a sparking light to so many people.
There
are people in your life that you inspire.
“There are people in your life that you inspire…
People that see all your best qualities… People who
want to be more like you…
People who don’t understand how you can’t see all
this yourself…
Try seeing yourself as they do…
See yourself for the amazing creation that you
are…” ~ simonboylan
You are
Influential and the Change Which the World So Desires
Ever
wondered what a football match would be without the fans.
Ever
wondered how a presidential speech would turn out without the people of the
nation.
Ever
wondered what a cause would be without supporters.
Ever
wondered how celebrities would come to be without celebrators.
Ever
wondered how like-minded individuals would exist without YOU.
You
are an influence, whether you believe it or not.
You
are the change because your small encounters do matter.
The
moments that you create are what make the world a better place.
As
you teach others your passionate skill sets the goal.
As
you set a good example and show others positivity in a negative world.
As
you show others your determination and doggedness to success by taking
advantage of failure.
As
you let your light shine, you unconsciously give light to others
to
become thought provoking leaders, professional champions, peace makers,
renewed
activist, creative personalities, renowned business men, awesome mothers,
wonderful
fathers and revolutionaries.
Let’s
not forget that you are also changing your world
by
applying your wisdom to tackle the world’s problems.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens
can change the world. Indeed, it is only one that
ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead.
You Can Make A Difference
Yes!
You want to help; you have a cause that will benefit people.
You
might be an introvert; you might not have enough skill.
You
might not have the resources.
You
may not have the charisma of leadership.
You
might not even know what you are doing,
but
there is something inside you that is so powerful.
You
have an inner voice to propel you to action, which is the greatest currency in
the world.
It
is this action that defines your impact.
It
is this action that makes you step away from the things you love,
which
gives you comfort and forges you towards giving support to humanity.
It
is this action that enables you to make a difference and become an inspiration,
even
though your journey is full of uncertainties.
“Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make
a difference has never tried to fall asleep
with a mosquito in the room.” ~ Christine Todd
Whitman
The Most Powerful and Happiest
Truth is That You Matter.
Now,
you do know that you matter. Never let anyone make you feel otherwise.
I would
like you to reach out to someone and let them know that they matter.
Remember
that a word is enough to make a difference.
Over
To You -
In
your own words, I will like you to share why do you matter.
If
you still believe that you are not significant and don’t matter in this world,
I
will love you to share that as well in the comments.
