Your presence in this world is required!

To build a solid practice of personal growth, we must first lay a strong foundation. The bedrock, I believe, is to understand and accept that our presence in this world is more than just required, it is essential. We are each a valued piece of the puzzle of life, bringing our different and unique strengths and abilities to the whole. As such, we each have a precise and personal role to play. Our presence, our very existence allows our fellow humans to also find their place. But imagine what happens to this intricate puzzle of life when one piece ignores its place or refuses to take it - trying to alter its shape or take on another’s, thereby inhibiting others from comfortably settling and finding ease. The result is, no doubt, a puzzle that is neither complete, unified nor beautiful. We need to ask ourselves if we are willing to recognize our place in this puzzle and take that essential responsibility to heart.
