There's no one quite like you! |
Do you really matter? Are you important? Oh, yes. More than you know!
If all the insects were to
disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow, the rest of life on this planet
would follow very shortly. But if humanity were to disappear tomorrow, the rest
of life on the planet would thrive. Or so say the scientists.
There is a major difference between
arrogant selfishness and a healthy self-interest. You are born with an inherent
drive to survive. Of course you want things your way! And if you’re still
alive, you’ve gotten everything your
way.
Surprised? We’re all in the same position.
Those who survive have
literally gotten everything their way, no matter the mindset that says “I’m a
victim.” Or “Nothing ever goes my way,” or “Nobody loves me, I’m not good
enough, life is unfair.”
One more surprise, perhaps even a bit of a shock: the
world can take you out any time it wants to. It is through the benevolence of the
people, the animals, the insects, the bacteria, the viruses, the weather,
timing, the planets, the sun, the galaxy, and the universe itself that you
remain to be able to read this post today.
It appears that we owe a much greater debt
of gratitude than we might previously have thought, does it not?
Still, it is
quite possible that we wouldn’t have had the chance to exist here if you and I
didn’t have something to offer. The universe brought us into existence because
it either needed, or wanted us here. Too much to swallow? It’s all due to blind
chance? Perhaps. But we’re here, fulfilling some purpose. Or we wouldn’t be
here.
It may well be that the universe needs your talents, our gifts, your ability
to love. Maybe the universe just wouldn’t be the same without you. Maybe the
world wouldn’t thrive as much without you as the scientific experts might
suspect.
It’s my best guess, though, that a sense of personal victimhood can
stand in the way of those precious resources manifesting to their fullest. So I
invite you to declare yourself—right now, in this moment—to be the contribution
the universe brought you into existence to be, even if you’re not certain of
what that even means. Accept consciously that, wherever you are most needed,
will reveal itself. Reaffirm that daily. Soon, you’ll begin to believe it. And
then, watch out. There’ll be no stopping you.
The world, the universe, all of
us, await your decision. Arrogant or not, you may be the one that changes
everything. Indeed, you are the contribution.
Your life is blessed; go and share it with the world!
