Since painting became my main occupation, I sometimes find myself questioning my worth because I haven’t sold many paintings yet. At times, I even wonder whether I’m contributing anything meaningful to society.
A few days ago, I had a moment of reflection about the value of our existence.
I was at the gym when I saw two people I knew greeting each other happily. One of them seemed especially happy to see the other.
Later, she told me why. She said it was because the other person had such a positive and genuine presence.
Something suddenly clicked for me.
When we are true to ourselves and genuine in the way we treat others, we can bring happiness to people without even trying. Isn’t that a contribution in itself?
Sometimes, we measure our worth by our achievements, income, or how much we accomplish. But we may overlook the simple fact that our presence and the way we treat others can bring something beautiful into their lives.
Perhaps we don’t need to overthink it so much.
We don’t have to achieve something extraordinary to prove our worth.
Each of us has our own value simply by being who we are. ❤️
