We tend to lose sight of this idea when we are feeling alone, hurt or sad. In the poem, Desiderata my favorite lines are:
“Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.”
You can read the full poem here. It has been an oasis for me in times of sadness and self-doubt.
I am a firm believer in the idea that we are all here for a reason, and we all have our own part to play in this life. In a strange way, I feel like everything is connected even if we can’t see it. This is why miracles happen and why when you need something the most, even if it isn’t what you want, something happens, and the Universe provides it.
The world needs who you were made to be. Somewhere on this planet, somebody, somewhere is depending on you to do what you have been called to do. And you matter just as much as everyone else.
