You do you!
In this week's episode, let’s delve into the profound theme of living a life of significance and the timeless concept of mattering.
The universal human need to be known and to know others emphasizes the importance of being valued and adding value to others. Drawing on my personal experiences, Biblical references, and societal issues like cancel culture, I know the impact of feeling invisible or not mattering to others.
Today, let me address questions of self-worth, significance, and the essential components of mattering. It’s time for you to reflect on their own sense of significance and connection, and to consider the impact of adding value to those around them. And always remember that you matter!

Quotations:
"The two most important emotional needs that we have as human beings are to be known and to know others, to be connected, to intimately be acquainted with us, to see us and acknowledge us."
"Knowing that you matter is essential to human flourishing. Because mattering involves awareness, importance, and reliance. People are aware of you, you're important to them, and they rely on you."
"Don't let someone else's opinion of you define you. You matter. You do. You are significant. My worth is that I am God's daughter, not based on how this lady felt about me."
"Mattering involves more than a feeling like you belong in a group. It's also being missed by the group if you weren't there because you're adding so much value."
