The Search for Significance

We don’t have to wait for the day when we’ve done something “significant”…

A few months ago, I went on a trip to the mountains to get away from the busyness of the city. I believe that so many answers can be discovered in silence.

I received one of many answers via a virtual session with my therapist where we talked about my fear of running out of time before doing something “significant”. Significance. I think we’re all searching for that in some way. For the feeling that what we’re doing matters. For some sign that confirms that WE matter.

But what if the truth is that we have already done something of significance? If today was our last day on Earth, I have a feeling that there are a number of people who would say that we’ve impacted their lives in some way — even if just by our presence.

We don’t have to wait for the day when we’ve done something “significant” because our inherent value as human beings means that we already are significant.

So with all of that being said, I’ve decided to create my very own definition of “significant”. And simply put — significant is the creation of meaningful content and moments that connect people to each other and to themselves.

And by that definition, I have already done something significant, and so my mission in life is to create more of it.

I challenge you to create your own definition of significant. Figure out what it means to you and make a commitment to cultivating more of that.
