From what I’ve noticed, we all seem to want the same thing.
To love…
and to be loved.
To feel part of something...
not separate from it.
Something larger than ourselves.
Something truly worthwhile.
To be loved for the wonderful unique person we are.
How we move toward that is different for each of us.
We each walk our own path.
At our own pace.
In our own way.
And along the way, we offer what we can...
our time, our presence, our care, or love.....
unique talents and gifts to the world.
No one’s journey is greater than another’s.
No one’s contribution is more important than another’s.
It all matters.
And perhaps living a life that matters
is simply remembering that there are people who love us.
The love we have to offer others is enough
It sounds simple.
But I’ve found it’s not always easy.
I know I still find thoughts inside my head
gently questioning whether I’m worthy enough…
Worthy enough to be seen as I am,
Worthy enough to be accepted as I am
Without needing to prove anything......
Worthy enough to simply be loved just as I am.
Maybe that’s what matters most.
Learning to notice these thoughts, and still choosing to show up.
With Gratitude
