| Honestly... who cares? I used to feel this way, too. But think of all the people in your life. All the people you've helped. All the people who's lives you've touched, even if just in passing. You made a difference. Ever smiled at somebody random? You brightened their day. There's so many people, but you are unique. No one is quite like you.
Next to eternity? Think of it this way. Time is a black void and people are lights or flames, whatever suits your fancy. People who go around trying to make a difference, by smiling at people, or helping someone pick up the stuff they dropped, or giving someone the five cents they're missing when they're checking out, they are bright lights that other smaller lights cling to. Those bright lights help to spark others, they help to make brighter lights from those around them.
Remember, you never have to do something big to change someone's day, just smile, be polite, people really do notice.
I'm motivated through my day by just being. Being nice, being kind, being helpful, being loving. People will see that in you. You help to change lives everyday, even if you don't notice. |
