Last Thursday, Carolyn shared with us her most recent presentation entitled; Self-Importance.

Carolyn began by reminding us that self-importance should be a big part of our lives. But no matter what others say, you are important! Be your own authentic self, and remember we are all capable of love, generosity and kindness. When someone you meet shows you how they are, believe them the first time! If someone does the same thing twice, then that is a pattern and they are showing you their true self. 

There are good positive patterns that you can make a part of your life. You don’t have to do life changing things to be part of society. Some good patterns:

1) respect of others

2) hard work

3) thoughtfulness and kindness

4) gratitude

Also our own actions can reveal who we are. Learn not to fear the past or to let it define you. Use it to learn more about yourself. Don’t linger in the past. You can’t erase the past, but you can put it in the back of your mind more often. Start by getting involved in something small. The more you try and make yourself more involved in worthwhile activities, you will start to fill the void in your life. Remember we were not put on this earth to take from others, we also have to give back. We are here to contribute and we all have our own special skills, and can help others. Don’t forget that you are the most important person in your own life. Contributing to make this world better is so rewarding. And it’s important to remember that people will always remember the nice things you have done for them. If you have an inner voice or an instinct encouraging you to help others, learn to listen to that inner voice and make a difference in this world!
