The world is better with you in it… 

That’s the picture that sent me spiraling this morning. 

I mean let’s be honest… 

Sometimes we don’t always feel this way. 

We might even feel like the world would be better off without us at times. 

 

It’s so easy to get caught up in these thoughts. 

To forget about how valuable we actually are. 

Especially when we’re going through troubled times. 

Or dealing with disabilities that make us feel less than. 

Our minds like to play tricks on us…

But that doesn’t mean we have to listen. 

 

We can’t always control the thoughts that come up. 

But we can choose whether to listen to them or not. 

We can choose to challenge those thoughts. 

Because I saw this picture and started spiraling…

And then something amazing happened!

 

A small little glimpse of a bigger picture. 

Someone we know liked my daughter's business page. 

Now you might be asking yourself like what the heck

does this have to do with anything… 

But in that moment it became clear that I make a difference. 

Even in the smallest of ways we make a difference. 

 

Today it was adding friends to her business page,

And someone kindly accepting the invitation.

Other times it’s cooking dinner or doing laundry or dishes

or honestly the list goes on and on as mothers. 

But we forget about all those little things. 

 

All those little things add up though. 

What might feel like tiny little things,

Paints such a beautiful bigger picture. 

So even if just for today,

Please don’t forget your worth!

Please fight those nasty thoughts 

That tell you you are less than everything! 

 

You don’t have to prove your worth.

You don’t have to earn your existence.

Your presence matters.

Your effort matters.

Your love matters.

 

Even on the days you feel invisible.

Even on the days you feel broken.

Even on the days your mind tells you lies.

 

You are already enough.

Right here. Right now.

So if no one has told you today — let me be your reminder!

The world is better with you in it 💖
