I think we lose sight of our value for multiple reasons: comparison overwhelm purposelessness / underwhelm HOW IS IT THAT WE CAN SO EASILY FORGET WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE? We get distracted. We forget to prioritize what matters. We lose ourselves in comparison. How do I fight these things? I work at it. I work at simplification. I work at slowing down. I work at filling the buckets that matter to me every day. God / my soul Brandon / my Marriage Ellie and Baker / my children Me / my Health (physical, emotional, intellectual, social) Others / my business, my neighbors, etc. Said another way I ask myself -Did I fill my soul today? -Did I fail today? -Did I grow today? -Did I learn today? -Did I show up today? -Did I laugh today? -Did I love today? Said yet another way - Did I learn, did I love? Said yet another way - Did I read a book? Did I spend time with God / worship / give thanks? Did I write? Did I laugh and love with my children? Did I spend quality time with my husband? Did I engage my creativity and heart in my business? Did I help others or encourage anyone? Boiled down, for me it's really: loving and learning. I wasted years doing what didn't matter; I want to live differently. I want to live in such a way that is a terrific adventure. A life that makes a difference. A freed soul. Here's what I know: love is all that matters. Live and lead with love - in your personal life, in your business, in your fitness / health pursuits, in your relationships, etc ... in everything, and you will never feel unfulfilled. Love never runs out, it multiples. TO BELIEVE THAT YOU REALLY MATTER, I SUGGEST THAT YOU GO BACK TO WHAT REALLY MATTERS: LOVE. You were created in love, by a being who is love, and for love. Our hearts are filled when we spread love; when we walk in our calling / when we show up as our best selves and we shine light into the places and lives in this world that need hope and encouragement. So, you don't matter because of what you do, who you were born to, where you live, what you have accomplished, how much you weigh, how funny you are or not, how many friends you have or how much money you make (or how "successful" you are, because what is success really, who measures it?); you matter because you are loved and you have the capacity to increase the light of love in this world by simply shining. -share some of Baker's experience -the love of strangers -you never know someone's story -little things have an impact and you never know when they have a small impact or a colossal one -the nurses i won't forget
