Why does my life matter? It’s a question that not many people get to sit down and ponder on. The world is constantly changing as we live, and now more fast paced than ever. New technology is being produced quicker than ever. People are always striving to obtain higher positions in the corporate ladder. We seek validation of ourselves through the minds of other people; we get that dopamine rush whenever we get a like or comment on a photo. Truth to be told, our species is always aiming for more, but when are we ever really satisfied? How hard would it be for us to take a minute, look at ourselves in the mirror, and say we’re enough?
The moment I looked at my reflection and said I was enough meant my life mattered. My life matters to me because of my “why” and the impact of it. For me, it’s about passing down the torch to the next generation and finding ways how I can use my experiences and knowledge to help other people. It’s about leading the current and future generation towards an active and self-aware life, not just sleepwalking through it. Supporting those through hardships and seeing their ease after it is personally way more fulfilling than a new iPhone.
My life matters because I want to inspire and carry on the courtesy of making this world a better place than it was before.
