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.
