For all that we do, by and for ourselves, there are times when we can find ourselves wanting to be able to make a contribution and wanting to make an impact. The more we do the more significant that we feel, and significance can be a very powerful feeling. For as much as we want to be self-effacing it feels good to make an impact (to feel significant) and to know that what we do matters. We also know that when we take away something of meaning (significance) we can negatively affect the person whom we are taking it away from. So, before we take anything away, from an individual we need to contemplate how we replace the feeling of significance with something else, it will make all the difference in the world (for all parties)

Loving life when I feel significant
