Who cares?

Have you ever had a day that when you looked back upon it thought, “Who cares?” This is another way of asking, “Does anyone recognize my presence and how I matter in the world?” We all want validation that our presence makes a difference. Imagine spending your life here without anyone noticing the gifts that you brought with you. The most obvious response to “Who cares?” should most certainly be “I do.” Recognize that you always have value, even though it might not be verbalized to you by others. Begin by acknowledging your gifts. Are you musically gifted, compassionate, mechanically inclined? How do you share those gifts with others? How do you feel as you express those gifts? Each time you share them, it is an expression of your caring, not only for others, but for yourself. The greatest legacy we can leave when we pass is that our caring made a difference, even if it was only with one other person. Most likely we will touch the lives of so many people, the majority of which we may never realize. Start by identifying the many gifts that have been bestowed upon you and choose one to share today to show you care. What will that gift be and how will you choose to share it?
