Insignificance

I have begun to look at my self and things in general in a different way.

A few minutes ago, while driving home I thought about how I was feeling right then. I was happy to find that the answer was… content and joyful.

Right then it hit me: Maybe all those people in my life that had always made me feel insignificant and unworthy, were absolutely necessary and vital to my being.

I could not have room for expansion and growth if I thought I was significant, OR could I? And of course, I had to realise that those people in my life were NOT the ones who made me feel insignificant. It was me. Somewhere deep inside, I felt so small, so insignificant, so separate and so alone. And I believed it. For a very, very long time I felt separate, but my yearning has always been to just belong.

I heard someone saying recently: “The world will tell you who you are, until you tell the world.”

It just made sense. Since the Universe is our mirror, why would the world tell me I am insignificant? Because, that is what I believed to be true.

I have always understood things better with illustrations in my life. So the insignificance thing came to me in the following mental picture.

If you look at anything… but let’s use the illustration that came to me … a cell phone. Without all its parts, including the TINIEST component, it cannot function. So, no matter how small the tiniest component within the device, without it, the device will not function.

Then, on a larger scale, would it not also be true, that in the device that we live in, the Universe, we are all necessary. No matter how small or insignificant or separated we feel. We ARE ALWAYS essential, necessary, vital and very, very significant?

This realisation has been a light bulb moment for me.

Namaste, fellow journeyers.
