As I sit here reflecting on my life and everything I’ve been through, I truly believe every person has an intrinsic value. It’s in discovering this intrinsic value that we start to find meaning. Why else would we be in a world filled with both beauty and chaos, fear and clarity? Many of us see the hardships we face as obstacles that block us from our goals. But I’ve come to believe that these very challenges reveal whether the goals we’ve set are aligned with our unique, inherent worth.
If I give up quickly in the face of adversity, can I honestly say the goal I set was meaningful to me? Once I began to sense purpose in my life, I realized it was up to me to define what that purpose looked like. Writing became a vital tool in this process—a way to immortalize my thoughts, values, and purpose. My mission statement is my anchor; it guides me daily to live in alignment with my intrinsic worth, even on the challenging days.
Looking back on times of chaos, I see that I had mistaken ideas about my value and purpose. Real meaning and purpose are meant to be shared, not held in isolation. Think about the great inventions that have changed the world—they weren’t kept secret; they were shared for the benefit of all. I challenge you to show up in the world and share your unique purpose and value. Know that you’re never truly alone when you walk in purpose, even if it feels that way sometimes.
My experiences have taught me that everyone deserves to experience love. And if no one has told you this today, let me be the first: I love you. I wish you nothing but love, overflow, and abundance in all that you do.
