Sometimes I doubt my own mission. How can I motivate others to achieve when I feel like a work in progress myself? What do I have to give someone? Shouldn't I first make sure I am complete and whole before daring to fill others up? Does what I'm doing even help anyone at all?! Is anyone listening??
The truth is, I may never know for certain the impact I have. There may never come a time when I feel work on myself is complete and I am ready to now help others.
That cannot stop me from putting myself out there, flaws and all. From reaching out a supportive hand. From lifting up others before I can lift myself.
You have been put on this earth for a purpose, and your life is meaningful. How you live it each day has an impact. You matter to someone. You matter to me. I don't even know who is listening, but if even one person benefits from my advice and counsel, that is enough.
When you toss a tiny stone into an enormous ocean, it will at least cause a ripple. You may not ever fully grasp the lasting effects of that ripple, but the fact is, you have just made a difference.
Today, be mindful of your presence in this world. Your smile might be the only one someone sees all day. Your kindness might give someone a spark of hope they desperately needed. You matter. Act like it.
