Believe in your significance

Lyrics from another Seize the Day song (I am dust):

“Stop feeling small, you’re a part of it all, and everything you say and do
And everytime you let your truth come through – It makes a difference.
Believe in your significance”

A recurring theme of the moment seems to be significance, and how for some of us it can be tough acknowledging our own significance. How we can doubt our importance – the difference we have made, and the way we matter to other people. Given that most of us don’t go around letting others know just how important they are to us, I appreciate for the most part it has to be an act of trust. But I do think our every action and interaction has an impact. (Butterfly theory, anyone?) It’s not about being arrogant, our significance is no larger than other people’s – but we don’t have to down play it either (and yes, this is very reminiscent of another of my blogs. Several blogs even. I’m kind of beating the same drum still, but maybe that’s fine!!)

I once was shown a fab quote – will have to see if my friend still has it – about not waiting to be asked to come into the centre of a group, but to know that your presence is vital, trusting you are central – just as each one of us is.

I don’t think we have to wait and see where others will put us, what others make of us, where we fit, how we belong. I think we can put aside our doubts as to if we are wanted, if we have a role, and trust that actually, we matter immensely, and that whatever has us question that is just our own or other people’s stuff.

Wishing you all the love you need for your sense of significance to bloom…
