I Matter?

There has been much conversation made around the topic of mattering recently.

We all seem hellbent on proving to someone or something that we matter.

That our lives matter or that they are worth something.

Do you matter?

Of course you do.

You received that gift and privilege the moment you took your first breath and entered this world.

Do you matter?

Do you?

Then, start living your life like you do.

Start making the sacrifice plays.

Start helping people.

Start healing your trauma.

Start opening your heart back up again.

Start dealing with your insecurities.

Start showing up for yourself and for other people.

We thrive in an excess of people propping up their phony exteriors simply to protect their shortcomings.

If you matter, start behaving like you do.

Start moving with the realization that every step matters.

Start speaking with the profound awareness that your voice matters.

Don't tell me that your life matters and then go light the match that causes it to burn to the ground.

For false idols.

For temporary desires.

For unfulfilled lust and insecurity.

STEP UP!

Or stop trying to convince me or anybody else that you matter.

Fade... into oblivion and irrelevancy.

Just don't tell me you matter and then show me and the world that you don't.

You are better than that.

And that kid who took their first breath and entered this world... what would they think if they saw you now.

Would they run away or draw close to you for comfort.

You always have a choice.

At the end of the day, there will be no one to blame except yourself for the legacy you leave behind.

Yours faithfully,

The Man in The Mirror.
