You Matter

You matter.

I’m not sure how many ways I can say it. You matter, I matter, they matter, it matters, everything matters!

Every person matters, Every job matters, Every opportunity matters
but you have to matter to yourself, and others have to matter to you.

We live in an apathetic world, where everyone tries so hard to pretend that they don’t care, until, one day, it becomes true. When has it ever felt good to not care or to not be cared about? When did we stop caring? Why did we stop caring? It hurts much more to not care than it does to care. When we don’t care we miss the blessings.

The worst poison in today’s world is Apathy.

We are born to care, we NEED to care, we have the need to be cared about! This world that takes care of us needs to be cared about and the people in it! Start caring about everything, allow yourself to feel again! Allow yourself to love and be loved. Feeling is how we know we are alive.

When we stop feeling, we start dying.

Not only do we matter, but everything we do matters, everything we don’t do matters, everything we don’t get done matters. Every word we speak, every action we take. Everything matters. GET EXCITED!!!! CELEBRATE EVERYTHING!!!! Celebrate the little wins, the big wins, and the losses!

For it is in the losses
where the lessons of greatness are learned.

When is the last time someone let you know that they matter? Yes, there are acts of service that show others we care about them, but when is the last time you actually told someone, “Hey you matter”? Can you even remember? How did that feel? When was the last time someone let you know you matter? When is the last time you let yourself know that you matter?  It is definitely not said enough in this world, is it? But hey, I have something awesome to tell you….

You Matter.
You matter so much.
Your presence is needed in this world.
Your voice matters, Your message matters, Your contribution matters.
You have something inside that no one else can give to the world.
Give it, Say it, Share it, Sing it, Tell it, Do it, It matters.
It matters more than anything else in this world.
Our future depends on it.

Tell someone they matter- RIGHT NOW. Text , Call, email, facebook, mail a letter, tell them in person.  Whatever it takes, let everyone you meet know that they matter. Tell a perfect stranger… the waitress, the gas station clerk, the janitor, tell them they matter, that they are needed in this world, don’t take anyone or anything for granted.

Tell the World they matter!!!

Treat every person with the absolute best attitude and gratitude, letting them know how important they are. We have no idea what others are going through but we know that with every person we meet, we have the chance to cheer them up, to let them know they are important. We never know what valuable gift we will learn from this person and we also don’t know where that lesson is going to take us! This person may just bring so much joy, love, up-leveling to your life that you would never have known if you didn’t connect. Never assume bad on anyone. This connection could very well change and bless your life. Treat it as such!

Relationships will become however you treat them!

What can we give to this person to make their lives better? Appreciation is a great start! How much love can we pour into each person that we meet? Are we blocking a blessing for them by not accepting their gifts to us? I know I struggle with this myself, having been on my own my whole life, I’ve become very self-sufficient. And very much a giver.

Life is a balance, We have to give more than we take,
We also have to be willing to receive as much as we give!

Don’t forget to appreciate things as well, be grateful for all the things IN the world, for everything was made in perfect balance, from the trees to the bees and everything in between. Be thankful for inventions, innovations, creations that have made our lives easier along the way. And don’t forget the and creatives that make our world more enjoyable such as art, music & the sciences of the world.

Let’s all adopt an attitude of Gratitude and appreciation for everything we have. Let everyone you meet know how much they matter, how important they are, how important what they do is! Tell the world today. It may change the entire course of their life, your life, and the future of mankind when we appreciate all things.
