You matter to the world.
You matter to those who love you.
You matter to yourself.
Who you are and what you do doesn’t just change yourself,
it changes the world around you.
Remember this today: you matter greatly.

What if just because you are good at something, it doesn’t mean you should do it? And more importantly, to borrow a line from my brilliant friend Tama Kieves, what if you realized that since you are good at something you don’t love, you might just very well be great at something you do love?
